We Are Engineering

Engineering Education Outreach programs focus on hands-on, open-ended engineering challenges that give participants experience both doing engineering and thinking like an engineer to solve problems. These programs include summer camps, on-campus programs for all grade levels, community programs, topical workshops, and much more. The Engineering Place builds excitement around engineering for students and teachers.

We focus on highlighting the importance of diversity in the engineering fields as we increase the understanding of engineering disciplines, careers, and the impact engineers have on everyday life with students, teachers, and the general public!
