WELCOME MESSAGE

Dear Engineering Colleagues:

Greetings from your Philippine Technological Council and a Happy World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development!

It is again that time of the year when we gather together, fellowship with each other and celebrate what engineering has done for us, for our families, for our country, and, for the communities where we have chosen to serve and practice our engineering professions.

For this year, PTC has lined up a series of activities not only for a day but for the whole month of March to celebrate this very momentous annual event – the World Engineering Day. In solidarity with the World Federation of Engineering Organizations and the rest of the global engineering community, PTC being the National Member of the WFEO, would like to showcase the Filipino engineering professionals’ engineering achievements especially as these relate to this year’s theme: “Engineering Solutions for a Sustainable World”. Moreover, we aim to continually raise awareness of engineering’s positive contributions to our quality of life and promote engineering as a valuable and promising career for our Filipino youth.

As we embark on this trend-setting celebration, we encourage you, individually and collectively, to come forward and actively play your roles well. For those who may not be able to be physically present in the venues of the various activities, we invite you to plan and undertake similar activities in your areas and register it with PTC for consolidation into one national celebration. We also wish to encourage those tech savvy among us to initiate and/or participate in discussions on the above theme and the role of engineers in society.

Looking forward to your usual active support and participation in this year’s World Engineering Day celebrations in the country as well as during the Technical Conference being organized in Qatar by our PTC-MENA colleagues.
