CE Club September 2017 Update

ASCE Dallas CE Club – Speakers Needed!

ASCE Dallas sponsors a Civil Engineering Club at Woodrow Wilson High School in east 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 at WWHS are unique in that they take place during normal classroom hours.  In essence, you will be serving as a substitute teacher for part of the day while sharing about your particular branch of civil engineering.

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

• Presenting to 3 class periods (Fridays preferred, but other days may be arranged) from about 8:30am to noon.
• Presentation format is intentionally left open ended for you as the presenter. The 50 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 up 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 within the WWHS Engineering Academy all under the control and responsibility of their teacher, Mr. Brandon Carver
• 15-25 students per class
• Large classroom with computer work stations along the walls and 4-5 tables in the middle of the room for group activities
• Laptop with projector and whiteboard for writing/drawing
