At the Center for Engineering Outreach, we believe that becoming an engineer is possible for anyone–that’s why we’re committed to inspiring and preparing tomorrow’s engineers. By working with K-12 educators, administrators, and students, Texas Tech University Engineering student mentors know that they can help ready a new generation of builders, problem-solvers, and innovators. Engineering Outreach Mentors not only provide STEM services to area and local students in classroom programs such as robotics, rocketry, physics, computers, mathematics, physics, etc., but they participate in community events such as NASA Space Day, Women in Science Endeavors conferences, NANO Day, and the Texas Alliance for Minorities in Engineering (TAME) Trailblazer program.
