During National Engineers Week, local communities recognize their engineers for professional and community service with special awards. From the White House to the state house to city hall, government officials proclaim National Engineers Week in their communities. Volunteers bring engineering to students and their families with exhibitions at local shopping malls and other contemporary village squares. Teams design cities by computer and build scale models, competing for prizes and peer recognition. Like engineers, students must call on math, science, teamwork, presentation, computer, research, and writing skills to succeed.
Engineers also lead visits to technology centers and engineering project sites.
National Engineers Week offers a variety of opportunities to learn about engineering and technology and how they affect you.
