About the Masonry Educators’ Workshop

The MEW is a forum for faculty who are teaching masonry, or will be teaching masonry, to learn about the design, specification, construction, and evaluation of masonry. Effective and innovative ways to teach this information to their students are discussed. The goal of MEW is simple: to assist professors teaching masonry so that students, who will be future designers and construction managers, are comfortable using masonry on their projects.

CMHA, IMI and MCAA will also assist with the workshop, and other sponsors and supporters are being sought to help offset costs to lower the potential costs for the attendees.In addition, some local masonry organizations typically fund the costs of attendance for individual educators in their region.
