| For Our International Visitors Since you found www.eweek.org and this section, you must be interested in engineering and National Engineers Week! National Engineers Week 2009 will be celebrated February 15-21. National Engineers Week celebrates the positive contributions engineers make to our quality of life and helps create the future engineering and technology work force by promoting pre-college interest in math, science and technical literacy. National Engineers Week is supported at the national level by the participation of more than 75 engineering, education and minority organizations. At the local level, we engage hundreds of organizations and tens of thousands of volunteers. National Engineers Week headquarters is interested in learning about Engineers Week or similar activities outside the United States. Engineering organizations in other countries contact National Engineers Week headquarters to learn how to establish similar programs, perhaps using our model. At the same time, many of our U.S.-based partners are increasingly interested in making Engineers Week programs accessible to their sites outside the U.S. We realize that engineering is a global venture that can be celebrated worldwide. We would like to lay the groundwork for National Engineers Week to “connect” outside the United States. Please take a moment to complete and return this brief questionnaire. If you are aware of other organizations – within or outside the U.S. – that would be appropriate to complete this survey, please send it to them. We would appreciate your response by February 1, 2009.
