E-Week - February 17-23, 2008
Join the North Carolina American Society of Civil Engineers in Celebrating National Engineers Week February 17-23, 2008. National Engineers Week, now called E-Week, takes place each year at the time of George Washington's birthday.
E-Week is a program to increase public awareness of engineers' contributions to society by celebrating innovation and technology.
E-Week promotes staying in school and specifically promotes science & mathematics through presentations and hands-on demonstrations. E-Week targets middle schools.
The ASCE North Carolina Section has received a State Public Awareness Grant from the ASCE National for a statewide National Engineers Week (E-Week) radio ad campaign for E-Week awareness. The radio ads will broadcast at various radio stations across the state leading up to National Engineers Week.
ASCE invites you to volunteer to visit a middle school or elementary school in your area. To help in your volunteer efforts, the NC ASCE Section has the information links available to you to help you get geared up for your volunteer efforts. Feel free to contact one of the ASCE Branch coordinators for additional information on volunteering and obtaining E-Week materials.

"Dear Mr. Philbin,
Thank you for coming to our class. The domes were fun, but I think cleaning the pennies was best of all. I love my foam dome, I use it all the time. I am so glad that I won the K'nex bridge. You are one of the best teachers in the world. Please come again. Please come again. I made a picture of you. Thank you again.
Sincerely, Savannah."
