What the Capital District E-Week event is doing for Students in Engineering

The Capital District E-Week’s focus is to promote the Engineering Profession.  The purpose of this event is to raise public awareness of engineers’ positive contributions to quality of life, promote the importance of a technical education including a high level of math, science and technology literacy among parents, teachers and students, and motivate youth to pursue engineering and related careers to provide a diverse and vigorous engineering workforce.

In support of these goals, the E-Week event has financially supported the local Capital District Future City Competition and both the Capital District and New York State MathCounts program.  E-Week also plans and holds the Model Bridge Competition for high school students and presents awards to the winners.  In addition, E-Week has supported HVCC/ASCE Steel Bridge Competition for college students.

Proceeds from E-Week are graciously used to help support these worthwhile student activities.
