Founded in 1951 by the National Society of Professional Engineers,
National Engineers Week is celebrated annually by thousands of engineers,
engineering students, teachers, and leaders in government and business.
The National Engineers Week consortium includes more than 100 engineering,
scientific, and education societies, and major corporations dedicated to
increasing public awareness and appreciation of engineering. As part of
this effort UIC celebrates National Engineers Week by offering a number of
activities throughout the week.
All events will be held on the UIC campus and are open to the general
public. Events are free, except as otherwise noted.
