Changing the Conversation about engineering |
|
The Engineering Ambassadors Network (EAN) is a an alliance of universities that aims to train a cohort of diverse and technically skilled engineering undergraduates on how to change the way people talk about engineering. Composed of student chapters from universities across the United States, the Engineering Ambassadors Network is committed to empowering ambassadors with leadership and advanced communication skills so that they can help future generations understand what engineers do and change the conversation about engineering.
“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 teachers are saying:"Thank you so much for coming with your students to do the engineering presentation today. All students and teachers were telling me it was a great event. I asked my students what they learned and every one of them had something to share. Many talked about having to keep on trying and not giving up after your first try when it doesn't work. This is not only an engineering lesson, but a life lesson as well."

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."
