National Engineers Week Shines a Spotlight on STEM

摘要

National Engineers Week, held this year from Feb. 16-22, was a weeklong celebration to focus attention on the role of engineers in society. Started by the National Society of Professional Engineers in 1951, the event is observed by more than 70 engineering, education and cultural societies - with participation from more than 50 corporations and government agencies. In fact, it's grown into a nationwide outreach program that encourages corporations, academia and professional engineering societies to emphasize the importance of learning science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) to students from K-12 and beyond.
