In addition to the Award Banquet to be held on February 23, 2002, CIE/USA has also worked very closely with IEEE-USA in promoting “ZOOM into Engineering” which is a joint program of National Engineers Week and WGBH-Public Television, Boston. Zoom into Engineering was designed to promote an interest in math, science, and engineering for children ages 6-11. A national “Train-the-Trainers” seminar to introduce the ZOOM Into Engineering materials and how to use them took place in Washington DC on October 15; participants from that conference held a local training session in Dallas on December 5, 2002, at the TI Forest Lane site. Engineers demonstrated the activities, materials and instructions that are available to bring the ZOOM Into Engineering message to the community. Zoom into Engineering local Committee Members: Additionally, CIE/USA will also support the National Engineers Week Future City Competition™ program. This program is a National Engineers Week program for seventh and eighth-grade students to foster interest in math, science and engineering through hands-on, real world applications. The competition is open to all public, private, and parochial schools in selected areas. The Special Awards and the Future City Competition National Finals will be held on February 20, 2002, in Washington D.C. CIE/USA is one of the proud sponsors for this great event. |
