Founded by NSPE in 1951, EWeek (February 19–25, 2012) is dedicated to ensuring a diverse and well-educated future engineering workforce by increasing understanding of and interest in engineering and technology careers.

Today, EWeek 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, EWeek promotes recognition among parents, teachers, and students of the importance of a technical education and a high level of math, science, and technology literacy, and motivates youth, to pursue engineering careers in order to provide a diverse and vigorous engineering workforce. Each year, EWeek reaches thousands of schools, businesses, and community groups across the U.S.

EWeek Programs
	New Faces of Engineering The New Faces of Engineering recognition program highlights the exciting and often unique work of young engineers and the resulting impact on society. Today's engineers are working to solve issues on a global scale, and these engineers, age 30 years or younger, have shown outstanding abilities in projects that significantly impact public welfare or further professional development and growth. NSPE is seeking applications for the New Faces of Engineering. The deadline for submissions is October 21.
	New Faces of Engineering, College Edition Every fall, College Edition promotes the accomplishments of 3rd, 4th and 5th year engineering students by highlighting their academic success and student contributions to the industry and participating engineering society. NSPE is seeking applications for the New Faces of Engineering, College Edition. The deadline for submissions is October 21.
	Discover Engineering It's a fun Web site developed specifically for middle school students to learn more about engineering. It provides instant access to 5 "crazy cool" videos designed and produced for students in grades 6, 7, and 8. Clean water, wind turbines, and solar power are just a few of the topics and lessons addressed in a highly entertaining way. Videos are available on DVD for classroom or auditorium showings.
	MyDiscoverE MyDiscoverE site is a rich, searchable database filled with engineering events, workshops and camp programs that is the 'go-to' online destination for anyone looking for EWeek activities in their area. If you are planning an event, we encourage you to use MyDiscoverE to let others know about it. It's also a great way to find out what's happening in your local community. Log in to join the conversation and particpate in the forum where families and event organizers share their tips, experiences, and ideas. You can also register to see events based on your personal preferences.
	Discover "E" Discover "E" 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 Discover "E" section will help you plan activities for National Engineers Week or anytime you work with students. The National Engineers Week Committee encourages you to continue your partnership with local schools throughout the year. DiscoverE Educator Awards The DiscoverE Educator Awards are shining a spotlight on the educators who are inspiring tomorrow's innovation generation. By honoring the educators who are hard at work in our classrooms, the engineering profession wants to show its appreciation and respect for the educators who are helping students discover engineering.
	Future City Competition Operating in 37 regions, Future City work with over 1,100 schools and reaches 33,000 students in a semester-long program. This engaging program challenges middle school students to design a city 150 years into the future. Starting with just their imaginations and SimCity software, teams of three students, supported by a teacher and an engineer-mentor, come up with ingenious solutions to specific global challenges. Want to get involved in helping students envision and build the world of tomorrow? Consider mentoring local Future City team.
	Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day In honor of the 10-year anniversary, the goal this year is to serve 10,000 ten year old girls with a positive engineering experience during a ten week period with the help of ten national partners. For the past ten years, women engineers have introduced more than one million girls and young women to engineering. More than just one day, Introduce a Girl to Engineering is a national movement that shows girls how creative and collaborative engineering is and how engineers are changing our world.
	Global Marathon For, By and About Women in Engineering and Technology The Global Marathon provides global and regional opportunities for women and provides a place to put forward ideas, solve common problems and come together. Designed to be an interactive event, the Global Marathon encourages women to engage and ask questions through live internet chat, webcasts and phone calls. Join us in a live worldwide forum on topics for, by, and about current and future generations of women in engineering and technology.
	A Sightseer's Guide to Engineering Note: This site is temporarily unavailable, but will be restored in the near future. Please check back soon.
