E-Week began in 1945 with just the Engineering and Science fair, but, has now grown to a two week event, hosted by the Benton Engineering Council through UF’s College of Engineering. E-Week aims to recognize engineers’ contribution to modern social development through a series of fun, interactive, and informative events. While Engineers’ Week aims to celebrate engineers, the events also underscore the relationship between engineering and all other fields of study, from fine arts and journalism to liberal arts and social sciences.
This year, E-Week kicks off on Monday, February 15 with our E-Talk, where guest speakers in the STEM fields come out to talk about the importance of engineering in our world. The next two weeks are filled with the engineering and science fair, leadership forum, service learning, and a festival. E-Week ends on Thursday, February 25 with the closing ceremony.
