Toolkit for a Career in Civil Engineering

Summary:

This tool kit was designed for use in school presentations, and contains information for high school students on how to pursue a career as a civil engineer or civil engineering technician. The kit contains a video, an FAQ document, a PowerPoint presentation and a brochure, all on one convenient CD-ROM. The video and PowerPoint presentation give an overview of how to prepare for a civil engineering career while in high school, and list several schools in the region that offer civil engineering or civil engineering technician degrees. The FAQ document aids in answering students' questions, and the brochure may be disseminated at high schools or career fairs. This project addresses the future workforce shortage in civil engineering by presenting civil engineering careers as meaningful and satisfying and offering good job opportunities and salaries.
