There are many universities that work closely with highschools to develop a relationship to help fit students’ needs. Universities and high schoolstraditionally maintained collaborations by including student job shadowing, outreach activities,faculty exchanges, and recruiting. The purpose of these partnerships is to expose high schoolstudents to the major so they can plan ahead to meet the needs of industries, governments,national laboratories, and the training need.

IntroductionCivil Engineering Technology students need to develop the ability to visualize structuralbehavior but this skill cannot be acquired solely through the theoretical concepts that are taughtin the classroom. These students need hands-on structural analysis experiments to complementand reinforce the theoretical concepts that are taught in class.
