The National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) is a professional engineering organization in the United States. From their press releases:

The National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) is the national society of engineering professionals from all disciplines that promotes the ethical and competent practice of engineering, promotes licensure and enhances the image and well-being of its members. Founded in 1934, NSPE serves more than 54,000 members and the public through 53 state and territorial societies and more than 500 chapters.

The celebration of National Engineers Week was started in 1951 by the National Society of Professional Engineers in conjunction with President George Washington's birthday. President Washington is considered as the nation's first engineer, notably for his survey work.

[edit] Outreach efforts

The NSPE sponsors an annual volunteer technical literacy and outreach effort called National Engineers Week [1].

In addition, the organization supports MathCounts, a middle school math enrichment exam, to support and encourage the learning of mathematics.
