WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 -- Rep. Daniel Lipinski, D-Ill. (3rd CD), issued the following newsletter:
Congressman Dan Lipinski (IL-3) honored the 18th Annual National Engineers Week (February 15-21) by introducing H. Res.117, Supporting the Goals and Ideals of National Engineers Week. Lipinski, Chairman of the Research and Science Education Subcommittee of the House Science and Technology Committee, led the House of Representatives in unanimously passing the resolution last week. The purpose of National Engineers Week is to educate and engage young people regarding careers in engineering, while also fostering public awareness about the vital contributions made by engineers to our nation. Activities include the Future City Competition, Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day, and the FIRST Robotics Competition.
"Engineers have built bridges and ships to carry people and goods across water, railways to carry products and passengers across continents, and the internet to carry information around the world," said Lipinski. "We need the innovative power of engineers more than ever to confront the new challenges before us. They will help us build the bridge to the new energy economy and American energy independence."
Lipinski holds engineering degrees from Northwestern University and Stanford University. To read Rep.
