When ASCE launched its Civil Engineering Clubs program in 2013, it envisioned die clubs as a way for engineers from the profession and academia to capture the imaginations of teens with aptitude in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and demonstrate the fascinating ways that they could put that interest into practice in the field of civil engineering. Over the years, the clubs have been successful at doing just that. "These clubs help support education in, and understanding of, the profession of civil engineering at the high school level," explains Sarah McEwen, P.E., M.ASCE, the chair of ASCE's Committee on Pre-College Outreach, the committee that established and maintains the CE Clubs program. "This is important because exposure and awareness of the profession early on are the best ways to recruit and sustain the workforce." |
