President Obama Sends Greeting to Nation’s Engineers
On February 12, 2010 President Obama released the annual presidential greeting to all engineers observing Engineers Week 2010. A copy of the letter can be viewed on the National Engineers Week Foundation web site.
In the greeting, the President, states that “Never before has it been more important for America’s youth to consider careers in science, technology, engineering, and math. The lessons they learn through initiatives like National Engineers Week will help them drive our economy as tomorrow’s entrepreneurs, researchers, and innovators, and guide our Nation as educators, policymakers, and parents. By helping our students discover the wonder of excitement of engineering, we instill in them a love of learning and expand their curiosity and creativity, which are at the heart of innovation.”
He concludes the greeting by saying that “Together, we can give our children the tools they will need to build a brighter future. Thank you for your dedication, and I wish you all the best in the years to ahead.“
