The first WED in 2019 and the ones after that included both online and in-person events organized by UNESCO, WFEO, and engineering institutions. They also aimed to create social media trends and messages about the event’s theme and to involve UN agencies, businesses, other groups, the media, and students.
Every year, WFEO hosted a 24-hour live stream featuring celebrations from different parts of the world. Starting in 2022, the celebration will have worldwide events, like a competition for engineering students to come up with ideas for Sustainable Development.
Engineering has always been very important for making things better and improving people's lives. It's important to make sure that future engineers and scientists can create ideas to solve problems in their communities and around the world. The World Engineering Day tells engineering students to work together on a big problem around the world.
The focus for World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development 2024 is "Finding ways to use engineering to make the world more sustainable. " This theme shows how important engineers are in coming up with new ideas to solve big problems around the world, like climate change, poverty, and inequality.
Right after the whole world agreed to follow the 2030 agenda for Sustainable Development in September 2015, Turkmenistan started working on making the Sustainable Development Goals its own. They did this by creating a plan with three steps to achieve goals and targets.
