  Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate recognize the importance of inspiring the next generation of problem-solvers, innovators, and leaders who will design, build, and sustain the future of the Palmetto State;

and   Whereas, engineering plays a vital role in advancing South Carolina's economy, infrastructure, public safety, environmental stewardship, and overall quality of life and is a rewarding career path for girls and women alike;

and   Whereas, women and girls remain underrepresented in many engineering and STEM-related fields, but early exposure to engineering concepts and role models can significantly increase their awareness, confidence, and interest in pursuing a career in engineering;

and   Whereas, "Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day" is part of a national movement that provides opportunities for K-8 students to explore the fascinating world of engineering through hands-on activities, mentorship, and engagement with professional engineers and technical experts;

and   Whereas, by highlighting how engineers shape our communities, improve lives, and transform ideas into reality, "Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day" helps students of all backgrounds envision themselves as future engineers and leaders in South Carolina.

Now, therefore,   Be it resolved by the Senate:

  That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, recognize and support "Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day";

encourage the participation of students, educators, engineers, families, and community partners across the State;

and declare Tuesday, February 24, 2026, as "Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day" in South Carolina.

  Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the American Council of Engineering Companies of South Carolina and the South Carolina Society of Professional Engineers.
