CE Club September 2019 Update

ASCE Dallas CE Clubs – Speakers Needed!

ASCE Dallas sponsors a Civil Engineering Club at Woodrow Wilson High School and Hillcrest High School in Dallas.  We are always looking for civil engineering professionals that are passionate about sharing their vocation with the next generation of civil engineers.  The CE Club meetings are unique in that they take place during normal classroom hours.  You will be serving as a substitute teacher for part of the day while sharing about your branch of civil engineering.

Here’s what you can expect to commit to as a CE Club Speaker:

• Presentation format is intentionally left open ended for you as the presenter. The 45-minute class periods are available for you to use in whatever way you feel will be the most effective.
• Presentations that include a group activity or game/competition are often more successful and beneficial to the students. Get the students engaged and thinking!
• We are also looking for individuals and companies that are willing to open their offices and jobsites to smaller groups of students for field trips throughout the school year.

Here’s what to expect from your audience and the classroom:

• High school juniors and seniors in the “Civil Engineering and Architecture Design” class.
• 15-25 students per class
• Large classroom with computer workstations along the walls and 4-5 tables in the middle of the room for group activities
• Laptop with projector and whiteboard for writing/drawing

Information and pictures from CE Club meetings in the past can be found here, here, here, and here.
