Engineers Week from February 21, to February 27.

What is Engineers Week?

Founded in 1951, Engineers Week is celebrated from February 21, to February 27.

Engineering is something that is a part of everyday life, but people are unaware of this and also of how much of today’s technology is down to engineering. Therefore, the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) founded Engineers Week to promote and raise awareness of this.

Why is Engineers Week Celebrated?

Engineers Week celebrates the positive contributions that engineers have made to the quality of life. It’s also an opportunity to increase diversity within the workplace, reinforce good education to get future engineers on the right track and increase interest and understanding of the trade.

Celebrating Engineers Week enables young people to be inspired and motivated to get involved in engineering, especially if teachers and parents contribute. Dedicating lesson time to engineering will prompt children to understand the basics and help them decide if they want to pursue it as a career.
