Each year, Engineers Week (E-Week) unites engineers, students, and communities across the nation to celebrate how engineering shapes our world. Founded by NSPE in 1951, E-Week (CWRU's E-Week dates are February 20-28, 2026) is more than a week of recognition; it’s also a movement to inspire the next generation of innovators, spotlight the impact of our profession, and strengthen connections across our engineering community. This year's theme, "Transform Your Future" reminds us that engineering shapes our world and the futures we can imagine for ourselves and our communities.

On Wednesday, Feb. 25th, Interim Dean Christian Zorman will host the Engineers Week Dean’s Networking Reception to bring together engineering students, alumni, faculty, and industry partners for an evening of connection, celebration, and professional growth. Featuring guest speaker and alumnus Milind Bhanoo, Vice Chairman & Co-founder at LayerZero Power Systems, Inc. The event offers attendees the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations, expand their professional networks, and explore career paths within the engineering field. Join us to celebrate!

Dress is business casual or wear your CWRU spirit attire or company attire.
