National Engineers Week
2022
ITE joined professionals across the country to celebrate National Engineers Week: February 20th to the 26th. Hosted by the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE), this week is dedicated to increasing public awareness of the countless ways engineers positively contribute to the world in which we live and to motivating students of diverse backgrounds to pursue careers in engineering and technology. The 2022 theme is “Reimagine the Possible”.
ITE is excited to launch a complimentary “Imagine Your Transportation Life” social media challenge to provide K-12 students with a glimpse into the world of transportation STEM careers. Below is a collage of the postings showing how transportation engineers contribute to the profession.
