Engineers Week: February 22–28, 2026
Engineers Week is the only celebration of its kind—an opportunity to:
- Recognize and celebrate the ways engineers improve our world
- Elevate the conversation about the growing need for engineers
- Inspire and engage the next generation of innovators
While “Engineers Week” is an annual week-long celebration of engineers, it also reflects the year-round commitment of engineers who make a difference.
It’s about keeping students excited about engineering throughout the year and recognizing industry professionals who have built their careers in this vital field.

Transform Your Future: Celebrate Engineers Week 2026
From the devices in our pockets to the bridges we drive across, from clean water systems to lifesaving medical innovations, engineering touches every part of our lives. That’s why each year, Engineers Week is a time to celebrate the people who make all this possible—and to inspire the next generation of problem-solvers.
This year’s theme, Transform Your Future, is a powerful reminder that engineering doesn’t just shape our world—it shapes our opportunities, our communities, and the futures we can imagine for ourselves and our children.
And it starts with you.
Why Engineers Week Matters
Engineers Week (February 22─28, 2026) is more than a celebration of a profession—it’s a movement to show young people that engineering is creative, collaborative, and most importantly, open to everyone. When students see how engineering can make a real difference—and when they see people who look like them in those roles—they begin to believe: this could be my future, too.
