Re-Tooling TBL

For several years TBL was a blog where I wrote about a wide variety of topics. Those postings are still in the Blog Archive and many are about professional development for engineers. I am now transitioning TBL to be a place where my current and former students can find information related to job searches.

Good News.

There is a private non-profit organization called Project Lead the Way that has established an engineering curriculum for high schools. It is a high quality curriculum that has swept the nation and is giving high school students an opportunity to learn about engineering before they get to college.

This coming year Grand Rapids, Deer River, Greenway, and Nashwauk-Keewatin high schools will have PTLW for their students. ICC Engineering is a partner and we will be looking for practicing engineers and former grads from these high schools to be mentors.

TBL: The good word of engineering is spreading.

Hey that is fantastic. PLTW also partners with STEPS (Science, Technology, and Engineering Preview Summer) Camps. I volunteered with this camp for the past 5 years when I was at Lockheed Martin, completely amazing program. I even got to redesign the Remote Controlled Airplane that the girls build during camp, and probably the nerdiest thing I have every done as an engineer. Count me in if you need any help! Jill
