The OSPE Board of Directors voted to discontinue the individual Chapter Meeting format.  Instead, they decided to focus more on volunteerism, advocacy and member recruitment.  With that in mind, there will still be education sessions, but not limited to any certain chapter affiliation.  Current education sessions will be listed below as well as on the calendar.

If you have topic/speaker suggestions, please contact us at [email protected].

Engineer for a Day Scheduled for February 20, 2025

Sign up to be an Engineer for a Day Host!

OSPE is making preparations for 2025 Engineer for a Day scheduled for February 20, 2025. We would like to invite you and/or your company to participate in this valuable program and allow students to shadow professional engineers at your place of business. In years past, we’ve received expressions of interest and gratitude from students, parents, and school administrators for this program. Your participation can have a tangible effect on the lives of high school students who are interested in pursuing engineering as a career. There are students who make the decision to pursue engineering because of a single event such as Engineer for a Day.

Approximately 50 area high schools will nominate bright and eager students that would like to find out what an engineering career is all about. The need is great – in recent years, we've had to restrict participation to high school seniors because more students expressed interest that could be hosted.

We hope we can count on you this year. For more information and to sign up as a host, CLICK HERE.

We ask that you register by Friday, January 24, 2025.
