Engineering Outreach Opportunity

Come volunteer your engineering expertise at the 2008 ConstructionCareer Days event! This event, sponsored by the Massachusetts Department of Education, the Museum of Science, and the Boston Society of Civil Engineers, runs May 7th, 8th, and 9th. Over 1800 high schoolstudents will attend over the course of the three days. Students takeon engineering challenges, hear about engineering/technology programs at participating colleges, and compete for awards for their highschools. Over the past few years the sponsor organizations have worked to expand the focus on engineering at the event and need many more engineer volunteers to help us staff these fun and engaging engineering challenges. Details on the event, registration information and pictures from previous years can be found at www.engineers.org/massccd/index.html.

If you think you would like to volunteer for one of the days or some subset, please email Melissa Higgins (mhiggins@mos.org).

If you volunteer for this event, please let us know by sending anemail to Laura Halleck (laurahalleck@gmail.com).

May Meeting: Closing the Gender and Minorities Gap in Engineering - Sponsored by MIT Lincoln Laboratory

Do you wish there were more women at your workplace - either as peers or as leaders you could aspire to?  We must start recruiting from an early age.  Do you have a daughter, neighbor, etc. who should explore science, math, or engineering?  Then this is the meeting for you!
