College of Engineering to celebrate National Engineers Week with public Expo on March 7
The College of Engineering at the University of Maine will recognize National Engineers Week with the annual E-Week Banquet and Engineering Expo, where engineers, educators and students gather for hands-on activities and workshops to learn about engineering and what engineers do.
The banquet will be held on Friday, March 6 at Wells Central. The Engineering Expo is free and open to the public and will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 7 at the New Balance Field House.
National Engineers Week was initiated to publicly promote the work and contributions of our nation’s engineers. During this week, engineering professionals have a unique opportunity to increase public awareness of the positive contributions engineers make to their communities, to this nation and to the world. National Engineers Week, taking place March 2–8 this year, has grown to involve tens of thousands of engineers in a variety of community outreach activities, including technology exhibits and presentations of student scholarships.
