Congratulations to Yulien Liz, Recipient of the EVAPCO, Inc. Engineering Scholarship

July 14, 2025

Yulien Liz was awarded an EVAPCO, Inc. Engineering Scholarship at the MCAA25 Convention in Austin, TX. This scholarship was awarded to two students ($5,000 each) whose goal is to pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering or Civil Engineering, or a field of study relevant to mechanical contracting/equipment manufacturing that supports the mechanical contracting industry.

Yulien is a Mechanical Engineering major at Fairleigh Dickinson University and is anticipated to graduate this December. He has been an active member of his student chapter since 2022 and has held the positions of President and Vice President. He has interned at MCAA member companies Mid-Atlantic Service 360 and Binsky & Snyder. This summer, he will be returning to Binsky & Snyder as a Junior Estimator.

“I know this is a professional organization, but I can’t help but get personal when describing what I have gained from my experience with MCAA. I often tell new members that the value MCAA has brought to my life is immeasurable. During my time with the student chapter, I have learned technical skills that I could not have acquired in the classroom, significantly improved my public speaking abilities, and been given incredible opportunities for scholarships and internships. I’ve also taken on leadership roles within my chapter, all of which have contributed to my personal and professional growth. My journey with MCAA has shaped who I am today.

I have completed two internships and built a network of fellow students across the country, as well as forged strong relationships with industry professionals. The friendships I’ve formed with classmates through this program are invaluable; they will last a lifetime.

Looking ahead, I plan to remain actively involved in my student chapter and become a mentor for future members. I want to motivate and guide them, helping them achieve their own success in this field. I believe that by giving back, I can play a role in shaping the next generation of industry leaders, just as my mentors have done for me.”

MCAA and the John R. Gentille Foundation congratulate Yulien on this prestigious scholarship and thank EVAPCO, Inc. for their commitment to supporting students interested in pursuing a career in the mechanical contracting industry.
