February 12, 2014 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., regarded as a top design engineering resource and global distributor for semiconductors and electronic components, today announced that once again it will be a major sponsor of National Engineers Week 2014, a five-day event at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History designed to emphasize just how much fun engineering can be.
Mouser will sponsor major exhibits Feb. 18-22 at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History. Other activities celebrating National Engineers Week are planned at schools across the Fort Worth/Dallas area.
At the museum, Mouser will host a range of engineering challenges and activities in its own company-branded Imaginer Studio, where museum guests will participate in interactive experiences while learning how engineering affects everyday life. Entry to Engineers Week is included with paid admission to the museum.
It is Mouser’s goal to spark the imagination of future design engineers, young and old alike, and to demonstrate some of the latest technologies affecting the world of tomorrow. It’s all part of National Engineers Week, observed each year throughout the United States to increase public awareness and appreciation of engineers and their work.
“Developing the future technical workforce is one of the great challenges facing our country, our industry and our company,” said Kevin Hess, Mouser Vice President of Technical Marketing. “We are excited by this opportunity to inspire the next generation of engineers through events like Engineers Week that promote and enhance STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education programs. We believe it is programs such as this that will shape the innovators, inventors, and scientists that will create the technological wonders that will wow us.”
“Mouser is a valued sponsor and a true partner,” said Van A. Romans, President of the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History. “With Mouser’s increased financial, in-kind, and volunteer support and professional insights this year, we are offering thousands of unique, creative, and memorable engineering-related learning experiences to our guests.
