Raytheon is proud to once again sponsor National Engineers Week, Feb. 17–23, to help celebrate the engineering achievements that have shaped our lives, our company and our world. Engineering is embedded in the fabric of our company, and it fuels our drive to provide system-of-systems solutions to our customers all over the globe.

Engineers Make a World of Difference
Each day we experience, use or enjoy something that is the result of an engineering achievement. Whether it’s a tool, machine, gadget or even a process, chances are it began with an innovative engineering idea.

National Engineers Week is a national celebration of these achievements, providing engineers and the general public a central, accessible e-forum; networking opportunities; and links to events across the country that showcase innovative ideas, cool applications of math and science, and technological advancements through history.

The week is organized by the National Engineers Week Foundation, a formal coalition of more than 75 professional societies, major corporations (including Raytheon) and government agencies. It is dedicated to ensuring a diverse and well-educated future engineering workforce by increasing understanding of and interest in engineering and technology careers among young students and by promoting pre-college literacy in math and science.
