National Engineers Week 2013

National Engineers Week 2013 LogoEvery year, National Engineers Week is held on the third week of February. It is observed by more than 70 engineering, education, and cultural societies, and more than 50 corporations and government agencies. The purpose of National Engineers Week is to call attention to the contributions to society that engineers make. It is also a time for engineers to emphasize the importance of learning math, science, and technical skills.The celebration of National Engineers Week was started in 1951 by the National Society of Professional Engineers in conjunction with President George Washington's Birthday. President Washington is considered as the nation's first engineer, notably for his survey work.

Letter from AIAA Executive Director to AIAA Members

From 17 to 23 February, the nation will celebrate "National Engineers Week," which highlights engineers, engineering, and the remarkable ways they have transformed our lives. As reflected in this year's theme, we will "Celebrate Awesome!" AIAA headquarters will join in celebrating your awesomeness by raising awareness of the wide-ranging contributions that aerospace eingineering brings to society. From GPS systems in our cars, to the modern convenience of commercial flight, to our ability to explore and further understand our universe - without aerospace eingeers, and engineers from a myriad of disciplines who work in the areospace industry, our world world be a different place altogether.
