Celebrate World Engineers Day and honor the impact engineers have made on the world - from technology to architecture!
Mark your calendars for September 15 and get ready to celebrate World Engineers Day! This special day was established in 2002 by the International Federation of Engineering Organizations (IFEO) to recognize, appreciate, and promote all the amazing contributions engineers make to our world. From building bridges that connect communities around the globe to creating innovative solutions that help us tackle climate change, engineers are helping shape a better future.
