The resolution designates August of each year as Professional Engineers Month in New Jersey, with the first Wednesday in August specifically recognized as Professional Engineering Day. This initiative acknowledges the historical significance of professional engineering licensing, which began in August 1907, and emphasizes the vital role that professional engineers play in ensuring public health, safety, and welfare through their work in various sectors, including manufacturing, construction, and scientific research. With nearly 10,000 professional engineers in New Jersey, their contributions are crucial to the state's technological growth and economic well-being.

Furthermore, the resolution highlights the importance of recognizing the achievements of professional engineers and encourages the education and training of young people in the engineering field to continue this legacy. It calls upon the Governor to issue an annual proclamation to promote participation in the observance of Professional Engineers Month and Professional Engineering Day, thereby fostering a greater appreciation for the engineering profession and its impact on society.
