Huntsville has one of the largest numbers of engineers per capita in the United States.

And, there’s room for more!

To recognize the profession, the University of Alabama in Huntsville is hosting its annual Engineers Week through Feb. 28.

For the fifth straight year, the Engineering Showcase, sponsored by the Chan family, is the signature event of the weeklong celebration. The showcase is Tuesday from 5-7 p.m. in Room 112 of the Student Services Building.

“In 2026, we will feature over 320 students, 35 senior design projects, 18 engineering student organizations and 16 undergraduate research teams,” said Dr. Jennifer English, UAH associate dean of Undergraduate Affairs. “At the Engineering Showcase, you won’t just see projects – you will see ideas engineered into reality. The event is a celebration of student achievement and ingenuity.”

Founded by the National Society of Professional Engineers in 1951, Engineers Week – also known as E-Week – is dedicated to ensuring a diverse and well-educated future engineering workforce by increasing understanding of and interest in engineering and technology careers.

UAH’s weeklong celebration features a variety of events, including a LEGO Design and Build Competition, Art Night and the annual “Take a Prof to Lunch” series.

At the showcase, engineering senior design students, undergraduate researchers and engineering student organizations will present their technical skills, creativity and commitment to innovation and teamwork through project displays and interactive demonstrations. Buffet refreshments and soft drinks are provided.

“Guests will see projects that reflect months of design, testing and refinement, illustrating the skills and professionalism our students bring to engineering practice,” English said. “UAH faculty and staff enable our students to be the very best, and I am grateful for their efforts in supporting our engineering students.”
