Partners & Civic Outreach

NSPE works with a number of other organizations to realize like-minded missions and develop the engineering community. These include:

  • MATHCOUNTS—A national coaching and competition program that piques interest in mathematics among middle school students.
  • National Engineers Week—A national outreach effort founded by NSPE in which engineers from a wide variety of engineering societies engage in a week of activities designed to inspire interest in the engineering profession among the nation’s youth. A focus is put on engaging girls in math, science, and engineering activities.
  • USA Science and Engineering Festival—NSPE has been a regular sponsor of this biennial event.
  • Cora Kelly STEM Plus Program—Working with a local elementary school, NSPE helps young children understand that solving problems with creativity can be fun.
  • Educational Foundation—This foundation provides financial support for engineering students, professors, and professionals.

Other partners are Energy Star, the National Association of Building Inspection Engineers, the National Academy of Forensic Engineers, and the National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies.

Famous quotes containing the words partners and/or civic:

    “Let’s face it. With the singular exception of breast-feeding, there is nothing about infant care that a mother is innately better qualified to do than a father. Yet we continue to unconsciously perpetuate the myth that men just don’t have what it takes to be true partners in the process.”
    —Michael K. Meyerhoff (20th century)

    “It is thus that the few rare lucid well-disposed people who have had to struggle on the earth find themselves at certain hours of the day or night in the depth of certain authentic and waking nightmare states, surrounded by the formidable suction, the formidable tentacular oppression of a kind of civic magic which will soon be seen appearing openly in social behavior.”
    —Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
