Volunteering
The Mid-Michigan Section of SPE has been asked to help recruit engineering professionals who might be interested in becoming adult leaders for an engineering explorer post. Exploring is the young adult career education program of Learning for Life for both young men and women who are 14 and graduates of the eighth grade or 15 through 20 years of age. Engineering Exploring is a youth development program centered on engineering and technology careers. Engineering Explorers might choose to investigate one of the specialties of engineering:
- Chemical
- Civil
- Electrical
- Mechanical
- Industrial
- Aerospace
Exploring groups range from 10 - 20 students, are conducted after school hours, and meet for 1-2 hours twice monthly between October and April. The intention is to have enough adult leaders involved so that any individual only has to lead the group for 3-4 sessions. They might take trips to places like Air Force bases, engineering museums, companies, or college facilities. They might learn to design equipment or use computers. The bottom line is that Engineering Exploring is action-oriented.
If you would like additional information, to discuss the program in more detail, or to volunteer to become an adult leader, please contact:
