About Engineers Week

Engineers Week 2025 will run from February 16 to 22. This year’s theme “Design Your Future” is about celebrating engineers and engaging students! As we celebrate the accomplishments of engineers past and present who have designed the future we currently live in, we also look to the next generation and how we can inspire kids to pursue engineering careers that will be focused on designing our future!

Engineering stands at the cutting edge of innovation, playing a crucial role in crafting the solutions that will define tomorrow. From the rise of artificial intelligence and clean energy to advancements in semiconductors and biotechnology, engineers have consistently driven progress, enhancing our lives to be more efficient, comfortable, and interconnected. Through their ingenuity, knowledge, and commitment, engineering teams design solutions to tackle global challenges, propel technological progress, and contribute positively to the future of society.

This Engineers Week we hope that you’ll take a moment to recognize and celebrate the work of engineers and engage students in engineering. DiscoverE, the organization behind Engineers Week, has free resources you can use to inspire future innovators, such as hands-on engineering activities and lesson plans, information about engineering education, and pathways to a technical careers. Visit DiscoverE.org/EngineersWeek and get the help you need to focus on the “E” in STEM.
