The National Society of Professional Engineers has designated Engineers Week 2010 from February 14 to February 20.  Engineers Week is an exciting time for engineers and scientists from across the country.  Engineers get involved with their communities via national, regional and local programs, carrying on a tradition that began in 1952.

This year, in a continuing effort to make this a valley-wide event, Engineers Week – Greater Phoenix Area will be organized by a committee of professional engineering and science organizations throughout the area.  We are planning several exciting events for E-Week 2010.

“E-Week Awards”
Awards are given to recognize engineers, students, educators and projects that have made outstanding contributions to the profession.  The awards celebrate and acknowledge the vital part engineers play in our complex world. Please nominate people and projects that deserve recognition.
