On Feb. 23, the world's first truly international web-based dialogue among engineering students, young professionals, and business leaders--Connecting the World to Engineering--will launch as part of National Engineers Week 2004. "Connecting the World to Engineering", on the National Engineers Week website at www.eweek.org, is spearheaded by the Fluor Corporation, co-chair of 2004 National Engineers Week along with The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)/IEEE-USA.
The new program, designed specifically to encourage and maintain career interest for engineering undergraduates, underscores two trends in the profession: the expanding global marketplace of ideas, and the Internet as the preferred vehicle for sharing those ideas. While many engineering societies already host professional and technical forums, "Connecting the World to Engineering" is the first to link business, academia, and engineering disciplines from around the globe.
