"The engineer has been and is a maker of history."
This line by James Kip Finch, an American engineer and educator, reminds us that engineers are part of the historic development of our world and always will be.
As proclaimed during UNESCO's General Conference in November 2019, World Engineering Day is celebrated every March 4 with the purpose of raising awareness of the role of engineering in modern life.
This year's theme is "Engineering innovation for a more resilient world," highlighting engineers' vital role in addressing basic human needs.
As we celebrate World Engineering Day today, may we be reminded of the contributions of our engineers to human welfare and development, environmental preservation, and societal progress.
Happy World Engineering Day, inhenyeros and future inhenyeros!
