National Engineers Week Banquet at Sweet Briar College

Celebrate National Engineers Week with Sweet Briar Engineering and the Lynchburg Regional Business Alliance! 

Each year engineers, students, and educators, as well as members of the public from Lynchburg and the Shenandoah Valley, gather with us to celebrate engineering in our region and enjoy an evening of networking. This year’s keynote speaker is Jordan P. Evans, aerospace engineer and project manager for the Europa Clipper mission, the largest planetary spacecraft in NASA’s history, designed to conduct a detailed survey of Jupiter’s moon and launched on October 14, 2024.  Mr. Evans will be sharing stories and insights into what it takes to tackle an engineering challenge like the exploration of Europa to bring us closer to answering the question…”Are we alone?”
