Michigan Tech Celebrates National Engineers Week, February 16-22, 2014

National Engineers Week celebrates the positive contributions engineers make to society and is a catalyst for outreach across the country to kids and adults alike. For the past 60 years, National Engineers Week (Eweek) has been celebrated each February around the time of George Washington’s birthday, February 22, because Washington is considered by many to be the first engineer in the US. Each year the national celebration grows, and this year Michigan Tech will jump head first into Eweek with a dozen different engineering events on campus for all to enjoy.
