Engineering Week kicks off across the U.S
February 18, 2013 - EWeek began February 17 and runs until February 23rd, with a goal of increasing interest in engineering and technology through a wide range of activities. EWeek promotes recognition among parents, teachers and students of the importance of high literacy in math, science and technology. The programs motivate young people to pursue engineering careers.
EWeek was founded by NSPE in 1951. Today it’s a formal coalition of more than 70 engineering, education and cultural societies, and over 50 corporations and government agencies.
This year’s EWeek programs include:
