Engineers Week   

National Engineers Week, it was created in 1951 to create awareness of the contributions of engineers to society by the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) and coincides with Presidents' Day. This is no coincidence, since George Washington, the first president of the United States, was a land surveyor and engineer.

The QCESC's 48th Annual National Engineers Week banquet is scheduled for Friday, February 19, 2010 at the Arsenal Club located on Arsenal Island in Rock Island, Illinois.
