Changing the Conversation about Engineering |
|
The Engineering Ambassadors Network (EAN) is a professional development program with a K-12 outreach mission.
- Through training and professional development, we develop confident communicators and leaders.
- Through K-12 STEM outreach, we inspire youth from historically underrepresented groups to envision themselves as future engineers.
“The engineering ambassadors program encourages our students to remain focused and optimistic about instruction, giving them the added benefit of hearing from older students in the multiple fields of engineering. We enjoy the ambassadors and their unique lessons. They have done so well and we look forward to future visits!”

What ambassadors are saying:"Being an Engineering Ambassador helped me develop so many skills that I use in my professional life! ambassadors helped me learn how to speak about science and engineering in a way that is understandable and useful to all key players. It also gave me the confidence to lead in any position, and, of course, how to make a great presentation."

"It is important to teach young students about engineering because it opens their eyes to an entire career field that they might not know exists yet. It's important to make them aware at a young age so that they can have time to develop a passion and prepare even better for a higher education if they choose to follow that path."
