Celebrate Your Profession: Pledge to Take Part in Global Day of the Engineer

Global Day of the Engineer, to be held Feb. 24, 2016, aims to bring together the international community to celebrate the accomplishments of engineers, give students around the world a chance to experience engineering, and share the amazing innovations engineers create every day.

The new Global Day of the Engineer initiative is being managed by DiscoverE. ASME is a member of the DiscoverE coalition of engineering societies and other science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) stakeholders. Global Day of the Engineer is one of a number of events scheduled to take place during Engineers Week 2016, which will run from Feb. 21 to 27.

Taking part in Global Day is easy. Simply visit www.discovere.org/our-programs/global-day and pledge to participate in Global Day of the Engineer by celebrating the achievements of engineers in your community or workplace, by joining in hands-on activities with students in your local area, or by sharing a photo of an engineering innovation from your geographic region on social media on Feb. 24.
