EWeek 2006 ENews #1 – September 20, 2005
National Engineers Week 2005 will be celebrated February 20-26. Feel free to forward this letter or contents to other interested parties. Contents 1. Engineers Week 2006 Leaders 1. Engineers Week 2006 Leaders 2. Do You Know a New Face of Engineering? Each year, more than a dozen women and men 30 years of age and younger are selected as New Faces from hundreds of nominees, each submitted to the Engineers Week Committee by one of its sponsoring societies or government agencies. Each organization will have its own nomination deadline. The top nominees will be featured in a full-page ad in USA Today, but there’s more to being named one the year’s New Faces than just the honor. Each engineer will also serve as an ambassador, literally representing the very face of this dynamic, essential profession to the media, the general public, and their peers of all ages. They will also be part of Engineers Week’s goal to reach out to young people – including college engineering students and high school students considering career choices. Profiles of each New Face of 2006 will be posted at the National Engineers Week web site at www.eweek.org, at www.discoverengineering.org, the Engineers Week web site for middle school students, and in publications and web sites of the nominating societies and organizations. By highlighting the accomplishments of these young engineers, the program’s organizers hope to shine a light on what is sometimes called the "stealth profession." Any engineer, from any discipline, 30 years of age or younger with a degree in engineering from a recognized U.S. college or university or equivalent international educational institution, is eligible. Nominees must be members of a sponsoring Engineers Week partner. 3. Future Cities in the Works 4. Thank You Hispanic Engineers 5.

Founded in 1951 by the National Society of Professional Engineers, Engineers Week ( February 19-25, 2006) is celebrated annually by thousands of engineers, engineering students, teachers, and leaders in government and business. In 1988, the National Engineers Week consortium expanded its scope and now includes more than 100 engineering, scientific, and education societies and major corporations dedicated to enhancing the public understanding of the engineering profession and to promoting pre-college interest in math, science, and engineering as a career option. |
