Today, EWeek is a formal coalition of more than 70 engineering, education, and cultural societies, and more than 50 corporations and government agencies. EWeek promotes recognition among parents, teachers, and students of the importance of a technical education and a high level of math, science, and technology literacy, and motivates youth, to pursue engineering careers in order to provide a diverse and vigorous engineering workforce. Each year, EWeek reaches thousands of schools, businesses, and community groups across the United States.  

Engineering has been called the invisible or stealth profession because everything around us and things we use every day have been engineered in some way, yet we may not see the engineers behind the scenes or know much about engineering.  

Engineers use their scientific skills and specialized knowledge in creative and innovate ways to fulfill society's needs and help solve major technological challenges of our time Engineers tackle challenges ranging from restoring and rebuilding towns and infrastructure after a natural disaster, maintaining the environment, assuring safe, clean and efficient energy sources to designing new systems which will forge our future.
