Later, in 2013, the STEMAmeriCorps was launched to specifically place volunteers in nonprofits across the country toinspire young people to excel in STEM."The goals of STEM AmeriCorps are to: • Improve academic performance and engagement in STEM coursework for K-12 students • Increase the number of students on track to graduate ready for college and for careers in

numbers ofwell-prepared graduates in STEM occupations is a high priority in the U.S. [1-2]. To fill thisdemand, it is predicted that the U.S. needs to increase the yearly production of undergraduateSTEM degrees by 34%. Thus, there is an urgent need to provide undergraduates top-qualitytraining and prepare them for the transition to graduate school and/or to enter professionalengineering careers. However, training in industrial environment is currently lacking in mostundergraduate curricula.With increasing demands for high performance in structural systems, SST that includes advancedsensing, modern control, smart materials, optimization and novel testing, is receivingconsiderable attention as it has the potential to transform many fields in

Becoming “familiar” with the relevant standards is one ofthose things every engineer has to learn once they start their career. They’ll always have tolearn new things on the job. This is one of them.International Building Code (IBC) is primary for ME’s and CE’s. In the back of the IBC thereis a “Referenced Standards” it lists other required standards such as: ACI for concrete, AISCfor steel structures, ANSI for misc, ASCE for wind and seismic loads, ASME for piping, ASTMfor materials, NFPA 70 (NEC) for electrical.It depends on discipline.

Inorder to tackle these deficiencies, a one-week summer engineering program for rising seniorstudents was developed with the following objectives. 1. Increase the awareness of future students of mathematics and technology of the varied functions and roles for research engineers. 2. Encourage more local high school students to pursue careers in engineering research and development. 3. Push students beyond usual academic expectations to yield positive outcomes. 4.

women are more likely than men to feel isolated, that the pace isquicker, the workload is greater, and experience gender discrimination.

Passing the exam also demonstrateshow serious you are about your engineering career. The National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) is theorganization that oversees the development, distribution, and grading of the FE Exam, along withits counterpart, the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam.

Many sell their own abilities short and convincethemselves that it is too difficult a career path. And still others conjure up the image of adirty, dull, dangerous, and demeaning factory floor and run (not walk) in the otherdirection.What is needed to turn these impressions around are exciting exposures to technicaltopics in existing high school curriculums such as technology education, science, mathand physics.

Indeed, the first statement recommending consideration of the development ofprofessional schools for engineering was adopted by the National Society of ProfessionalEngineers (NSPE) in October 1938. With the advancement of technology and the increaseddepth of basic mathematics and science needed for an engineering career, the rationale
