Moorestown, NJ, February 13, 2003  Lockheed Martin opens its doors next week to share the innovative world of engineering with over 80 local students. Students from Florence Memorial, Harrington, Delran and Burlington City Middle Schools will celebrate National Engineers Week 2003, themed "Turning Ideas into Reality," at the company's Moorestown, N.J. business unit.

During the visits, students will experience first-hand engineering tactics and techniques with the Lego™ Design Workshop by building an energy tower and constructing and operating a catapult. Lockheed Martin engineers will also give interactive presentations on various engineering disciplines and the roadmap to becoming an engineer.

"We want the world of engineering to come alive for young students," said Carl Bannar, Lockheed Martin's vice president of Technical Operations. "The students will conduct experiments with our engineers and scientists that help demonstrate the important role engineering plays both in everyday problem-solving and in the future of technology."

Founded in 1951 by the National Society of Professional Engineers, National Engineers Week is dedicated to increasing public awareness and appreciation of engineers and to encouraging pre-college interest in science, technology and engineering.
