WELCOME
Welcome to ASCE LA YMF's Engineers Week page! I have the privilege of being this year's Engineers Week (EWeek) Chair for 2026 and I am very excited that you're interested in learning about this fun-filled, week-long event. Our goal is to inspire students that are curious about STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) and to explore the world of engineering together! We have put together a great team to lead EWeek 2026 and can't wait for you to join us.

ABOUT EWEEK
The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Los Angeles Younger Member Forum (LA YMF), with support from our generous sponsors and several City of Los Angeles Council Districts, has participated in Engineers Week for more than a decade. Founded by the National Society of Professional Engineers in 1951, Engineers Week is dedicated to ensuring a diverse and well-educated future engineering workforce by increasing understanding of and interest in engineering and technology careers.
Our week-long event consists of five days of exciting fun-filled activities led by engineering professionals. Our unique event invites schools from the greater Los Angeles area to participate and is dedicated to introducing students of all levels to local branches of government and various fields of engineering. Our goal is to educate students about how their own communities were built and to inspire them with the possibilities of helping to shape their built environment!
In 2025, Engineers Week served over 800 students, teachers, professionals, and volunteers who joined together to inspire the next generation of engineers. Students participated in hands-on activities such as air-powered cars, water filtration projects and pasta towers. Engineers Week 2026 will be held from February 17-21 in various locations around Los Angeles!
If you are interested in participating in Engineers Week, please do not hesitate to reach out to our EWeek Chair or Day Leads!

Engineers Week 2026 needs your support!
Engineers Week is focused on inspiring future generations of engineers and providing opportunities for K-12 students to learn about science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in an engaging and fun environment through professional panels, discussions and hands-on engineering activities. We rely on volunteers from STEM-related fields to serve as guides and mentors for the students, further introducing them to career opportunities they may not yet know exist. Our goal is expose students from disadvantaged and underrepresented backgrounds to the field of engineering and engage them in a fun and meaningful experience.
Engineers Week 2026 will be held in person at various locations and will consist of:
-
Elementary School Day (2nd-5th grade), held on Tuesday, 2/17/2026
-
Middle School Day (6th-8th grade), held on Wednesday, 2/18/2026

This fun-filled, week-long event would not be possible without our sponsors and so we seek support from both public agencies and private firms to join us in promoting the importance of government and engineering to students in the
Los Angeles area. Your financial support will provide scholarships, supplies, bus transportation, lunch, and t-shirts while giving you targeted, community recognition and exposure. Sponsorships include recognition on our social media platforms and print media, in addition to a variety of other benefits.
Sponsorship opportunities are detailed in the packet below. If you are interested in sponsoring Engineers Week 2026, please contact us at laymf.eweek@gmail.com.
