"MOST
AMERICANS DON'T KNOW WHAT ENGINEERING IS, OR WHAT ENGINEERS DO.
ENGINEERING IS A COLLABORATIVE, CREATIVE PROCESS THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
IN ALL OUR LIVES. 'ENGINEERS WEEK' CELEBRATES THESE
ACCOMPLISHMENTS--AND HELPS SHARE THEIR [I-E, ENGINEERS'] KNOWLEDGE,
EXPERIENCE, AND ENTHUSIASM. TO KICK OFF 'ENGINEERS WEEK', WE
LAUNCHED OUR NEW 'APP-E-FEAT'-CONTEST--[WHICH IS] PART OF A LARGER
PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS ORGANIZATIONS TO CONNECT WITH ENGINEERS, TO DEVELOP
MOBILE APPS THAT WILL HELP HUMANITY AND CHANGE LIVES. THE CONTEST
IS OPEN TO ANYONE WHO'S 13 OR OLDER; PARTICIPANTS CAN CREATE AN APP--OR
EVEN DRAW, WRITE, OR UPLOAD A SOLUTION TO A LOCAL OR GLOBAL PROBLEM."
