Inspire Innovation: Engineering in the Classroom!

Inspire Innovation: Engineering in the Classroom! is a joint workshop organized by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

Come join us and discover how you can enhance your efforts to bring exciting engineering education to your local schools and pre-university educators. Participants will experience fun, classroom-tested engineering activities from ASCE, ASME and IEEE.

This workshop will feature inquiry-based learning, incorporating national mathematics, technology and science standards and will address issues of gender and diversity in engineering education. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about complimentary resources, gain insight into outreach programs that will help you organize public outreach events and train other volunteer engineers.

Resources will be provided and will include instructional booklets, lesson plans, videos, CDs and DVDs, a self-tutorial PowerPoint training presentation, and much more. Participants will also learn to identify and work with educational partners including schools, PBS stations, museums and youth groups.
