STEM Community Outreach and Engagement
The College
of Computing, Engineering and Construction is a vehicle to coordinate
activities across our campus with partners in K-12 schools and others
interested in STEM. Supporting faculty,
staff, and students who focus on STEM, the Outreach and Recruitment Center
supports a number of outreach programs aimed at promoting computing,
engineering and construction as a STEM profession. We also serve as an
organizing point for large-scale projects on campus to help improve STEM
education across the educational system.
The
Computing, Engineering and Construction Management departments are a part of a
local and regional initiative to create programs to create a STEM (Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) pipeline. Pipelines expose and inspire young children
in these subjects through hands-on learning activities to eventually guide them
into taking pre-college courses in middle school to ensure they are directly
where they need to be for high school and then on the college. The global
economy of the 21st century demands an innovative and
technologically proficient workforce.
A small
component of the STEM pipeline is to provide STEM programs and activities for
children in K-12. These programs and activities allow the students to explore
all areas and eventually find one that interests them and hopefully pursues it
into a career path.
