Pre-College Engineering Education Division

precollege engineering education is to promote the viability ofengineering as a potential occupation, and there are myriad of programs, both formal andinformal, that are engaged in this endeavor (e.g. incorporation of engineering into statestandards, marketing campaigns such as Changing the Conversation, engineering outreachevents, etc.). Each program has different foci, but oftentimes the same goal – how do we getmore students to consider engineering? Many programs evaluate engagement, formation ofengineering identity and even persistence. However, the number of students completing degreesin engineering has seen limited growth, despite this national push.1 How then do we broadenparticipation in engineering? While it would be impossible to map all

Architects spend their professional lives working with other people. Doing that effectively depends on building relationships with others. When people with different personalities work together on an issue or project, they tend to look at it form different points of view. Often, one person sees a side of things that others miss. The best results come from maximizing and building on different strengths that those involved bring to solving the problems.”1 • “Even the smallest project requires a team of two: an architect and a client
