Each year, Engineers Week (EWeek) unites engineers, students, and communities across the nation to celebrate how engineering shapes our world. Founded by NSPE in 1951, EWeek (February 22-28, 2026) is more than a week of recognition; it’s also a movement to inspire the next generation of innovators, spotlight the impact of our profession, and strengthen connections across our engineering community.
Get involved. Get inspired. Get connected.
NSPE proudly collaborates with DiscoverE and a coalition of more than 70 engineering, education, and cultural organizations (as well as 50 corporations and agencies) to build awareness, spark curiosity, and celebrate the engineers who make a difference every day.
No matter where you are in your engineering journey — from student to seasoned professional — you have a role to play. Whether you host a classroom visit, volunteer with your state society, mentor a student, or share your engineering story online, your participation helps amplify the message that engineering changes lives. Explore resources, connect with your state society, and join us in celebrating the people and possibilities that power tomorrow’s world.
Programs
DiscoverE engineers share a common desire: to help grade school and high school students discover the exciting worlds of engineering and technology. Their goal is to relate practical applications of math, science, and engineering to the world around them. The information in this DiscoverE section will help you plan activities for Engineers Week or anytime you work with students. The Engineers Week Committee encourages you to continue your partnership with local schools throughout the year.
Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day (Girl Day) helps focus a growing movement to inspire girls’ futures so they learn they have a place in engineering a better world. In just one day you can make a difference by sharing your knowledge, experience, and some fun! Give girls the chance to think like an engineer and you’ll be amazed at what you learn!
An international day with celebrations across the world is an opportunity to increase the profile of engineering. The Day is also an opportunity to engage with government and industry to address the need for engineering capacity and the quality of engineers around the world and develop strategic frameworks and best practices for the implementation of engineering solutions for sustainable development. The celebration of World Engineering Day is also about promoting engineering as a career and how it is an opportunity to change the world for better.
Future City asks middle-school students to imagine, design, and build cities of the future. After four months of designing a virtual city (using SimCity), researching, designing, and writing up their solution to a city-wide issue and building a scale model of their city, teams will present their vision to a panel of judges. After the competition is over, student participants are not only prepared to be citizens of today’s complex and technical world, they are poised to become the drivers of tomorrow.
