Energy4me (Society of Petroleum Engineers) is a sponsoring society of Engineers Week. This global engineering education initiative promotes math, science, and technological literacy, encourages students to consider engineering careers, and raises awareness of engineers’ positive contributions to society.
EWeek.org
is the official website for Engineers Week, featuring special programs like “Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day” and National Engineers Week Future City™ Competition. It also explains how to organize and run a local Engineers Week program, features the New Faces of Engineering, offers classroom activity suggestions for all grade levels, and much more.
Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day is slated for Thursday, 21 February. “Girl Day,” as it’s known among engineers, is the only outreach of its kind aimed at and organized by a single profession. On 21 February, 2008 and in programs throughout the year, women engineers and their male counterparts will reach as many as one million girls with workshops, tours, on-line discussions, and a host of hands-on activities that showcase engineering as an important career option for everyone.
