Engineers Week Committee of Boston

The Engineers Week Committee of Boston organizes the Annual Engineers Week events each year for Boston in February or March. The committee includes representatives of the major Massachusetts and New England engineering associations. Annual events include an awards luncheon celebrating achievements, a career night for college students and some seminars.

The Boston committee is affiliated nationally with Engineers Week, a formal coalition of more than 70 engineering, education, and cultural societies, and more than 50 corporations and government agencies, and was founded in the United States in 1951 by the National Society of Professional Engineers. Dedicated to raising public awareness of engineers’ positive contributions to quality of life, Engineers Week promotes recognition among parents, teachers and students of the importance of a technical education and a high level of math, science, and technology literacy, and motivates youth to pursue engineering careers in order to provide a diverse and vigorous engineering workforce. Each year, Engineers Week reaches thousands of schools, businesses, and community groups across the United States.
