High School Educators
connect2engineering is a new initiative that began in the summer of 2010. Our goal is to help area K-12 teachers create opportunities for their students to learn about the different facets of engineering. Through connections to professional engineers in the area to providing a comprehensive list of events related to engineering, connect2engineering hopes to serve as a resource for teachers.
