National Engineers Week was created in 1951 by the National Society of Professional Engineers and coincided with President’s Day. This is no coincidence, since George Washington, the 1st President of the United States was a land surveyor and engineer.
E-Week is held to create awareness of the contributions of engineers to society.
The Capital District E-Week’s main focus is to promote the
Engineering Profession. The purpose of this event is to raise public
awareness of engineers positive contributions to quality of life,
promote recognition among parents, teachers and students of the
importance of a technical education and a high level of math, science
and technology literacy, and motivates youth to pursue engineering
careers in order to provide a diverse and vigorous engineering
workforce.
There are numerous seminars with professional development hours (PDHs) over two days in one convenient location.
