National Engineers Week
It’s almost here — the 59th annual event to encourage students to consider
engineering careers while building public understanding and appreciation of
engineers’ contributions to society. Running from Feb. 15 through 21,
National Engineers Week is backed by more than 100 professional societies
(including ASCE), major corporations and government agencies, with the goal
of ensuring a diverse and well-educated future engineering work force.
Engineers who give of their time to be with students are a huge part of the
E-Week mission. Are you among the many who have reached out to potential
future engineers? To demonstrate such generosity among engineers,
organizers of the Million Hours Campaign want you to log the hours you’ve
National Surveyors Week
March 15-21, 2009
The purpose of Surveyors Week is to bring visibility to the profession. During Surveyors Week, sur-
veyors in industry, government, private practice and education promote public recognition of the
profession. Governmental agencies, technical professional organizations and citizens groups are
encouraged to join the celebration.
Surveyors Week is a perfect opportunity to introduce elementary, junior high and senior high school
students to the surveying profession. Surveyors in many areas stage demonstrations of new survey-
ing technologies or displays of ancient and modern surveying instruments to which students and the
public are invited.

OIT is THE Premier Institute of Higher Education for Real Surveyors on the West Coast. Surveyors were being educated at OIT well before that school down in the raisin belt was. The BLM has given OIT a vote of confidence in the form of a $750,000 grant to fund a permanent faculty position. If I’m not mistaken, the BLM gets more surveyors from OIT than from any other college or university. It’s a place where the students not only learn the theories behind the methods, they actually learn how to apply them to real situations. How many West Coast colleges offering a 4-year degree in surveying can honestly make that claim?
