Great Achievements
to be Named
The Greatest Engineering
Achievements of the 20th Century will be announced at a National Press Club
luncheon in Washington on Tuesday, February 22. This project marks a rare collaboration
between the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), National Engineers Week, and more than
60 professional engineering societies, which were asked to submit up to 15 nominations
each. An anonymous panel of NAE members from various engineering disciplines will choose
the 20 most outstanding engineering achievements, with an emphasis on the significance of
the achievement in terms of its impact on the quality of life in the 20th century.
