TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND THE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS WHO LIVE AND WORK IN THE GREAT STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, TO ENCOURAGE ALL SOUTH CAROLINIANS TO HONOR OUR ENGINEERS FOR THEIR MANY CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PALMETTO STATE’S QUALITY OF LIFE, AND TO DECLARE WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2018, AS “PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS DAY” IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives, appreciative of the outstanding service rendered by the engineers in our State, is pleased to recognize this hardworking body of professionals in conjunction with the celebration of National Engineers Week, February 1824, 2018; and

Whereas, in advancing new discoveries and technologies that change the way Americans live, think, and work, engineers make a world of difference in our society; and

Whereas, thousands of engineers living in South Carolina are dedicated to enriching our State through their work in construction, education, government, industry, and private practice; and

Whereas, through their integral involvement in the design, construction, and maintenance of our built environment, these engineers help ensure a strong infrastructure to accommodate new industry, homes, communities, schools, and churches; and

Whereas, the 2018 observance of Engineers Week provides a highly appropriate opportunity to recognize the engineering profession as a vital part of South Carolina’s smart economy. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and commend the professional engineers who live and work in the great State of South Carolina, encourage all South Carolinians to honor our engineers for their many contributions to the Palmetto State’s quality of life, and declare Wednesday, February 21, 2018, as Professional Engineers Day in South Carolina.
