World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development is a global UNESCO day. It was proclaimed to raise awareness of the role of engineering in modern life.

 

UNESCO is placing a high priority on activities that promote awareness of engineering as a career, as well as on those that demonstrate the importance of youth studying science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

 

All communities, partners and individuals from around the world were called to help celebrate and uplift engineers on World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development 2022.  To this end, events were held around the globe by WFEO, partners institutes, universities and so many more.
