The Engineering Division is committed to raising awareness and interest in technical and scientific disciplines for students at all levels. Division staff participate in a range of programs, including engineering-focused STEM days held on-site for high school students, tours and demonstrations for a wide range of age groups, and participation in events including reverse science fairs and mentoring and guidance opportunities. It is part of our larger mission to expose students to engineering and technical disciplines and illuminate career paths for reaching goals within these fields.
