Welcome to another engaging episode of Engineering Influence, presented by the American Council of Engineering Companies. Join us as we welcome Kathy Renzetti, Executive Director of DiscoverE, to discuss the evolution and significance of Engineering Week 2025. From its origins in the 1950s to its current global influence, Engineers Week has become a catalyst for inspiring young minds to pursue careers in engineering.

Kathy delves into the importance of hands-on engagement and the crucial role volunteer mentors play in classrooms, transforming the way students perceive engineering. Discover how local initiatives and partnerships can create lasting impacts, and why volunteering as a role model can make a real difference.

We also explore exciting themes for this year's event— "Build Your Future"— which encourages students to imagine and create solutions for tomorrow's world. Dive into the discussion on how engineering can address current global challenges such as climate change, and learn about the role of civil engineering in shaping a sustainable future.

Don't miss the opportunity to hear about DiscoverE's Future City Competition, which inspires young innovators to envision cities 100 years into the future. Celebrate their achievements and learn how to stay engaged in nurturing the next generation of engineers beyond Engineers Week.
