Engineers Week
The College of Engineering will be celebrating Engineers Week from February 22-28, 2026 – 75th year anniversary!
EWeek was established in 1951 by the National Society of Professional Engineers to raise public awareness of engineers’ positive contributions to the quality of life. This year’s theme is “Transform Your Future.” Again, we will have a DEPARTMENT COMPETITION. Students can earn points for their department when they participate in various EWeek 2026 events! Who will take the trophy from BMEG?
The department winner will be announced at the EWeek 2026 Closing Reception. A trophy (currently with BMEG) and bragging rights will be earned!
