World Engineering Day 2026
March 4, 2026
#WorldEngineeringDay is on March 4, 2026
Join the global celebration! Tell us how engineers are Creating the Future!
While many countries celebrate their own national engineering days, weeks, or months throughout the year, DiscoverE launched the first annual Global Day of the Engineer in 2016 as a way to collectively recognize engineers worldwide.
In 2020, this global celebration was renamed World Engineering Day as a joint venture with UNESCO and WFEO to highlight engineers’ achievements around the world and improve the public understanding of the importance of engineering and technology. Join us!
World Engineering Day is a global celebration of how engineers and technicians make a difference.
- Celebrate engineers in your life. Honor colleagues, family, and friends by:
- Taking a minute to say thank you.
- Recognizing an engineer’s achievements in your organization’s newsletter.
- Nominating an engineer you admire for an award.

- Engineering projects you work on or admire.

- Engineers you want to recognize for their good work or inspiration.
- Engineering celebrations (example: from your Engineers Day, Week or Month events).
- Quotes about being an engineer.
AND some selfies!
