Engineers Week February 18-23
Fifty years after its inception, National Engineers Week continues to promote awareness of engineering professions and accomplishments. The innovative and enterprising nature that permeates the engineering profession has always been a part of the American experience. West Point was established after George Washington, who was a military engineer and land surveyor before he became president, called for the founding of an engineering school in the United States. For this reason, National Engineers Week is always celebrated around the first president’s birthday. This year at CWRU, the Engineers Week activities were co-sponsored by the Case School of Engineering, the Case Engineers Council, the Office of Development Programs, the Undergraduate Alumni Association, and corporate sponsor Accenture.
Mmmmmmmm...students enjoyed non-dining hall food at this annual event, held at Sammy’s at the Metropolitan. Students mingled with faculty and alumni and had the opportunity to hear keynote speaker Carl J. Meade, a veteran of three NASA space shuttle missions.

In the spirit of the service that engineers provide to the community, CWRU students prepared sandwiches for a meal provider associated with Harvest for Hunger.
