Engineers Week
Engineers Week, a coalition of more than 75 engineering, professional, and technical societies and more than 50 corporations and government agencies, began in 1951. It’s held each year around the time of George Washington’s birthday who, as a surveyor, is often considered America’s first engineer. Founded by the National Society of Professional Engineers, the week is dedicated to ensuring a diverse and well-educated future engineering workforce by increasing understanding of and interest in engineering and technology careers among young students and by promoting pre-college literacy in math and science. Among the oldest of America’s professional outreach efforts, EWeek also raises public understanding and appreciation of engineering contributions to society.
