Engineering Education OutreachThe College supports activities towards increasing public awareness on the importance of engineering in improving their lives through media coverage on research breakthroughs and service learning activities such as the activities of Engineers without Borders. Engineering Education is a strategic growth area in the College. Engineering faculty and students are actively engaged in promoting Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) in K-12 education. The Engineering Practice Facility, which is currently under construction, will have an observation deck for K-12 students to watch engineering students practice their skills. Several CoE faculty are actively involved in K-20 Center activities. The center conducts research on interactive learning including learning in STEM fields.
