Engineers Week recognizes the accomplishments of all engineers. The New Faces of Engineering program highlights the interesting and unique work of young engineers and their resulting impact on society. Young engineers, two to five years out of school, are the focus of this recognition program. As an Engineers Week sponsoring society, the National Society of Professional Engineers is looking for  young working engineers who are NSPE members to nominate for this program. 

 

Engineers Week’s New Faces of Engineering program strives to promote engineering as an exciting profession open to everyone.  By highlighting young, diverse, talented engineers, their achievements, and the impact of those achievements on society, Engineers Week aims to put a face on the “stealth” profession.

 

Individuals selected from the various engineering societies will be featured in a full-page ad in USA Today during Engineers Week (February 16-21, 2009).  Each photo will be captioned with the engineer’s name, the name of the engineering society providing the nominee, the employer, and a brief statement of that individual’s accomplishments as they relate to the public welfare.

 

What Engineers Week and NSPE are looking for is an excellent “poster person” to present to the public--someone dynamic and successful who has already made a contribution at a young age. NSPE can present up to 5 members to be considered for selection. 

 

Circulation will include not only USA Today but also the engineering trade press, the individual’s local press, and the Web sites of Engineers Week and the sponsoring engineering societies, among others. (To learn more about Engineers Week, go to www.eweek.org.)
