Meet the real movers and shakers in our world. Engineers design structures to stand up to earthquakes and they travel into outer space. From computer chips to potato chips, their work makes a world of difference in our lives. They are practical inventors and problem solvers. Engineers and their work are everywhere!

National Engineers Week recognizes the accomplishments of all engineers. The New Faces of Engineering program highlights the interesting and unique work of young engineers and the resulting impact on society. Young engineers two to five years out of school are the focus of this recognition program.
