National Engineers' Week Celebrations

The EC Board of Directors is busily engaged throughout the year preparing for the traditional National Engineers Week celebration. National Engineers Week is celebrated during the week encompassing the birthday of our country's first President, George Washington, who was a Civil Engineer.

An Honors and Awards Banquet is held Saturday evening culminating a full week of celebration that includes but is not limited to mall exhibits, visits to elementary, junior and senior high schools, student science and engineering contests, and engineering student excellence recognition.

Scholarship Programs

Consists of funds given to select scholarship funds at local engineering schools and to top high school graduates planning to attend an engineering school of their choice.

Mentoring Programs

We support local mentoring groups, such Canoga Park High School Explorer Post #3142, and Eagle Engineering FIRST and VEX Robotics Team #1138. These are general science and math mentoring projects supported with grants and volunteer mentors from from the technical society membership in the San Fernando Valley.

Educational Outreach

The Engineers' Council strongly supports the local "Discover E" activities in the classroom by practicing engineers who volunteer their time to share the excitement of the engineering profession. CSPE Mathcounts competitions, science fair judging, IEEE Future Cities competitions, and classroom visits are opportunities for engineers to give back to the community in small ways and plant the seeds of future careers with our 6-12 grade students. Competition winners are recognized by the Engineers' Council during National Engineers Week at the Annual Honors & Awards Banquet. To volunteer your time for one of these projects, visit the Engineers' Council Volunteer Match, which is a Networking Platform to match school and classroom needs with engineering volunteers.
