The Engineering Ambassador Program is the machine that drives the College of Engineering's K-12 Outreach. Its mission is to develop and nourish relationships with local area schools and teachers. In working with schools and understanding their STEM needs, the Engineering Ambassadors connect available resources to bring a better understanding of the field of Engineering and what the UTEP College of Engineering has to offer prospective students.
The Engineering Ambassadors work with all departments in the College of Engineering to bring experiences, technical knowledge, and excitement to K-12 outreach events and activities. Continuous training and team concepts are what fuel this team to invigorate the pool of future engineers.
Programs that are led by the Engineering Ambassadors include:
- Aspirations in Computing Awards Ceremony
- ExciTES Summer Institute
- E-Week Tours
- Nexus High School Shadowing Program
- Robotics
