David Richards and Stephen Griffin are breathing a huge sigh of relief.

The two men have spent the last year at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton learning the business side of their engineering profession - a task that required many long hours and unfettered commitment.

"It was a long year, but it's over now," Richards said.
