All About Engineering Engineers use their imagination and analytical skills to invent, design, and build things that matter. They are team players with independent minds who turn ideas into reality. By dreaming up creative and practical solutions, engineers are changing the world all the time.

Engineering has been called the “invisible” or “stealth” profession. Everything around us and that we use every day has been engineered in some way yet we may not see the engineers behind the scenes or know much about engineering. Engineering is not part of our grade school education.

The engineering field is as varied as engineers themselves. Engineers can design and build superstructures or delicate medical instruments. Engineers are exploring for energy and for new worlds in space. They are designing the environmental controls for an art museum or directing global sales of today’s hottest cars and computers. Who knows where the next great challenges will be?

Engineers Week is the public culmination of a year-round portfolio of programs.

The National Engineers Week Foundation, a formal coalition of more than 100 professional societies, major corporations and government agencies, is dedicated to ensuring a diverse and well-educated future engineering workforce by increasing understanding of and interest in engineering and technology careers among young students and by promoting pre-college literacy in math and science. Engineers Week also raises public understanding and appreciation of engineers' contributions to society. Founded as “National Engineers Week” in 1951 by the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE), it is among the oldest of America's professional outreach efforts.
