Engineers make a world of difference
Engineers Week is a formal coalition of more than 70 engineering, education, and cultural societies, and more than 50 corporations and government agencies. Dedicated to raising public awareness of engineers’ positive contributions to quality of life, Engineers week promotes recognition among parents, educators and students of the importance of a technical education.
In 2006, the Society of Women Engineers and Northrop Grumman Corporation led Engineers Week. Northrop Grumman Corporation and SWE worked alongside leading engineering societies to increase the public’s awareness and appreciation of engineering.
A successful launch of the Connecting Educators to Engineering program shared resources with middle school educators, parents, and students. In preparation for collaborations with educators, engineers received training to increase their effectiveness as volunteers by participating in webinars.
