ABOUT US


National Engineers Week

National Engineers Week was initiated to publicly promote the work and contributions of our nation's engineers. During this week, engineering professionals have a unique opportunity to increase public awareness of the positive contributions engineers make to their communities, to this nation and to the world. National Engineers Week has grown to involve tens of thousands of engineers in a variety of community outreach activities, including technology exhibits and presentations of student scholarships.

In Maine, Engineers Week has been celebrated through an annual E-Week Banquet and EXPO, where engineers, educators, and students have gathered for hands-on activities and workshops to learn about engineering and what engineers do. 

Engineering and technology talent are critical to continued improvement of our infrastructure, health, natural resources and economy, and to the growth of your organization. That’s why inspiring the best and brightest young minds to engineering and technology careers is a critical mission of the Maine Engineering Promotional Council through our annual E-Week EXPO.

Maine Engineering Promotional Council

The Maine Engineering Promotional Council (MEPC) works behind the scenes to increase the visibility of engineering in Maine through the two E-Week events, the Banquet and the EXPO, where we attract 1500 +/- people each year.  The annual E-Week events are held at either the University of Maine in Orono or the University of Southern Maine in Gorham to cover most of the state. 

The MEPC board is comprised of academic and industry members who all are committed to raising awareness of engineering through the Banquet and EXPO E-Week events.
