Engineer’s Day is observed in Costa Rica every July 20, commemorating the foundation anniversary of the Pan American Union of Engineering Association (UPADI) in 1949. This holiday aims to unite Latin American engineers and facilitate connections among countries in the region. It highlights the importance of the engineering profession and encourages young people to pursue careers in this field. Various engineering organizations across Costa Rica celebrate the day with large-scale events, including lectures that showcase different aspects of engineering. UPADI plays a key role in these celebrations, promoting discussions on ethics, transparency, gender equality, and professional achievements among engineers.
