I am pleased to send warm greetings as you recognize National Engineers Week.

Americans have always been innovators, pioneers, and explorers. Through their work, engineers play an important role in carrying on this tradition. They provide the design and structure that enable new ideas to become tangible benefits to our society. Engineers help expand our horizons, from planning essential infrastructure for the growth of our cities to finding better ways to preserve America’s beautiful wilderness for future generations.

I commend the professionals, teachers, and students participating in National Engineers Week. This week’s activities will showcase the interests and talents of America’s engineers and provide inspiration for our young people to set high goals and work hard to achieve them.

Best wishes for a successful week.
