National Engineers Week will be celebrated February 15 – 19, 2010. National Engineers Week was founded in 1951 to increases public awareness and appreciation of the engineering profession. During Engineers Week, engineers participate in a variety of interactive activities with the youth to generate interest in the engineering, science and math professions.

The Society of American Military Engineers, Pittsburgh Post will work to increase public awareness and appreciation of the engineering profession. The Pittsburgh Post, along with several other organizations, companies and government agencies will have exhibit booths at the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on February 19 and 20, 2010 for this outreach effort. Activities will include gumdrop and toothpick buildings and bridges, an environmental engineering demonstration, and computer bridge design.

The Post will welcome additional volunteer participation from both general and sustaining members who would like to assist in maintaining the booth and activities during Engineers Week activities. Interested persons may contact Mr. Jack Dziubek at 724-495-4186 or jdziubek@mbakercorp.com . Sustaining members are invited and encouraged to provide ‘souvenirs’ (e.g. pens, highlighters, etc.) that can be provided to booth visitors.
