National Engineers Week was founded in 1951 by The National Society of Professional Engineers and is celebrated annually at the time of George Washington’s Birthday. Our first president was a military engineer and a land surveyor. Like our first president, today’s engineers are problem solvers. They design, develop and oversee the manufacture and construction of products, machines and structures. Engineers Week is a time to recognize the contributions engineers have made to our way of life and to encourage students to pursue engineering careers to perpetuate advancements for future generations.
The Engineers Club and all the Associate Societies encourage everyone to come out and support these activities at The Garrett-Jacobs Mansion, 11 West Mount Vernon Place, and the Baltimore Museum of Industry, 1415 Key Highway. For more information call 410-539-6914 or log on to www.esb.org.
Happy 57th Engineers Week!! |
