Engineers Week (E-Week) is a national, annual celebration of the vital contributions that engineers make to our world.

This year’s theme, Transform Your Future”, is a powerful reminder that engineering doesn’t just shape our world—it shapes our opportunities, our communities, and the futures we can imagine for ourselves and our children. 

From the devices in our pockets to the bridges we drive across, from clean water systems to lifesaving medical innovations, engineering touches every part of our lives. That’s why each year, Engineers Week is a time to celebrate the people who make all this possible—and to inspire the next generation of problem-solvers. 

And it starts with you. 

Why Engineers Week Matters 

Engineers Week (February 22─28, 2026) is more than a celebration of a profession—it’s a movement to show young people that engineering is creative, collaborative, and most importantly, open to everyone. When students see how engineering can make a real difference—and when they see people who look like them in those roles—they begin to believe: this could be my future, too. 

The events of the week showcase how engineering is at the forefront of innovation and is instrumental in designing and creating the solutions that are shaping the world of tomorrow.

WSE’s 15th Annual Speed Networking Night 

The Whiting School of Engineering invites you to attend the 14th annual Speed Networking Night. During this event, students will meet with different alumni as they rotate through a series of seven-minute, in-person, one-on-one, speed-networking sessions. These sessions offer students the opportunity to practice their “elevator pitch” and receive feedback on how to improve and make the best possible first impression.
