Spring 2008 EWeek Classroom Activities
Discover Engineering
EWeek school visits are a brief visit to an area
elementary or junior high school by a small team
of volunteer engineers like you. The purpose is
to grab the math and science interest of young
students so that they might populate tomorrow’s
hiring pool of civil engineers. Visits will be
coordinated throughout the spring (not just one
week). Training is provided to the visiting
volunteers prior to the scheduled visit, and the
visit should take approximately an hour of your
time. See a demonstration of a sample visit
about 15 minutes prior to the December ASCE
meeting (12/18)! This program is available to
ALL area schools.

Parents
If
you are the parent of an elementary or junior high
school student, this is the perfect opportunity for
you to connect with your child on what you do.
There is only so much a child will process from a
speech about SDR-26 Waste Water PVC Pipe and Taming
Supercritical Storm Flows Within Short Distances! A
cool experiment in class and activity, or even
competition, they can do during a school hour will
get across the message you need to convey at this
age and will make you a rock star in their eyes…and
in front of all his or her friends! Volunteer and
make this happen!
The
Letter
A
letter has been sent to area teachers and schools
inviting them to participate. If you notice a
school of interest is not on the list above, take it
personally…get angry…go for a jog around the block
and cool off, then send your name and contact
information to Laton Carr
lcarr@pape-dawson.com, and we will
provide you with a copy of the letter that you can
provide to the teacher or other decision makers to
turn a Discover Engineering school visit into a
reality.
