Be Well Rounded . . . Life isn't just about working, acquiring stuff and making money. It's about relationships - connecting with the world, other people and yourself. Many of you may be looking for ways to reach out in your community and make a difference.
You might consider using your engineering knowledge to help others through organizations like Habitat for Humanity, or you may want to participate in programs to help children learn about math and science.
We have a few recommendations on how you can use your knowledge and skills below.
* Challenge Teacher and Student Perceptions about Engineering Reach out to your local elementary, middle or high schools. You can encourage teachers to introduce engineering concepts into their science, math and technology lesson plans or incorporate into after-school initiatives and get students excited about engineering. Engineering is not always prevalent in the school systems and working with young people and teachers can be very rewarding. ASME has made it easy for you to approach a school with various Planning/Resource Tools to begin the process.
| * ASME has developed partnerships with the following organizations:
If you are interested in getting involved with the organizations above or have any questions about getting involved in your local schools, please contact Marina Stenos, Director Public Awareness, Leadership & Diversity. |
