AB  - Paper Title: Opportunities and Benefits of Professional Organization Engagement in STEMOutreach ActivitiesJournal / Conference: ASEE ConferenceAuthors: Removed.Objective of Effort / Study: Identify opportunities to expose potential future scientists andengineers to STEM disciplines via professional organization outreach activities.Objectives of Paper:1) Highlight the need for professional organizations, members of which are from both industryand academia, to engage in STEM outreach.2) Describe the {redacted} teacher grant program3) Highlight the benefits of Year 1 and Year 2 activities.Proposed Abstract:The growing interest in supporting STEM disciplines creates an opportunity for professionalorganizations that include members from academia and industry to participate in the recruitmentand engagement of K-12 students. Professional organizations, because of their industry partnersand members, are often in unique situations to center on specific focus areas and are composedof individuals interested in service and outreach. Further, professional organizations are routinelymanaging present-day “issues” facing certain industries and / or focus areas, creatingopportunities for disseminating “real-time” relevance to prospective young students. This paperhighlights the efforts of one such professional organization – the {redacted} – in creating andexecuting an Outreach Program that solicits and funds proposals from high school teachers whouse the funds to augment their science / engineering classes with some exposure to combustion.The program, now in its fourth year with three successful competition windows, has createdopportunities for members of academia and industry to become exposed to issues that K-12educators face in terms of engaging students in STEM disciplines. The objective of this paper isto provide a guide for professional organizations that consist of members of academia andindustry to use in creating their own outreach program and to identify opportunities for bridgingthe gap between professional organizations and K-12 students and educators. The paperdescribes the process for developing the {redacted} program, summarizes “lessons-learned” andprovides what are believed to be essential features for making a K-12 outreach programsuccessful.Proposed Outline:I.
