> National Engineers Week is celebrating its 50th

> Engineers Week, SWE has accepted the challenge to
> spread the good news about
> engineering to as many girls as possible.  Your help
> is needed in making
> this initiative a success.
> For National Engineers Week 2001, the engineering
> community is being asked
> to launch "Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day." The
> goal is to have some
> 100 organizations mobilize as many women in
> engineering as possible - a
> target of 10,000 - who, along with their male
> colleagues, will volunteer for
> this effort.  "Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day"
> culminates on February
> 22, during National Engineers Week and will become
> part of the annual
> Engineers Week campaign. (We realize that to
> accommodate tight schedules we
> need to be flexible and expect participation to
> occur throughout February
> and March.)
> As part of this focus on girls, National Engineers
> Week is generating
> considerable publicity for this event.  For
> instance, IBM CEO Louis V.
> Gerstner, who is Honorary Chairman of National
> Engineers Week 2001, will
> speak at the National Press Club on February 21.
> His appearance will be
> carried live on C-Span and NPR and via the Internet.
>  For more information
> on this or other Engineers Week activities, visit
> www.eweek.org
> <http://www.eweek.org> .
> To make an impact, SWE needs your help.  Each SWE
> member is being asked to
> personally participate in reaching out to school age
> children: contact a
> local teacher and ask to speak about engineering or
> provide a hands-on
> science experiment, visit a girl scout troop in your
> area, present awards to
> outstanding students, visit
> www.discoverengineering.org
> <http://www.discoverengineering.org>  and promote
> this site to students,
> donate a book on science or engineering to your
> local school or public
> library, write a letter to the editor about
> engineering, shadow a student at
> your work or campus, invite K-12 grade students to
> your Section's meeting...
> If you are interested in supporting this effort,
> please let me know as SWE
> must pledge a participation number.  If you are
> already participating in an
> Engineers Week activity (such as Discover "E" or
> Math Counts), let me know
> so we can include you in our count. Some helpful
> materials in support of
> "Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day," including a
> list of 50 ways you can
> participate, are being prepared by Engineers Week
> Staff and will be mailed
> later this month.  Provide me your name and address,
> and I will make sure
> you get a copy in the initial mailing.
> THANK YOU!
