Call For Engineer Mentors

Engineer mentors are needed for the Alabama Regional Future City Competition, a National Engineers Week Event.  The mission of this event is to provide a fun and exciting engineering program for 6th, 7th and 8th grade students that provide a challenge and hands-on experience with the design of a futuristic city.

Our annual Future City Competition, is in DIRE needs of engineer mentors.  These are volunteered positions and the time available for mentoring is totally up to the individual. Basically, all we would do is pair you up with a local school of your choice and you would schedule with the teacher convienent times for you to meet with the students.  You can go to the school as few or as many as you wish, because you are voluteering your time. Any time with the students is greatly appreciated by the teachers and students.

Main topics of discussion are: engineering as a future career, the importance of engineering, types of engineering, and specific competition criteria and requirements (which will be given to the engineer).  The competition runs now until the competition date of Saturday,  January 15th, 2011 at the Shelby Center on the campus of UAHuntsville.

The Alabama schools needing engineer mentors are as follows:

Elmont High School – Elkmont;   Alabama School of Fine Arts – Birmingham;   Cedar Ridge Middle School – Decatur;   Madison County Elementary – Gurley;   Hampton Cove Middle School – Huntsville;   W.J. Christian School – Birmingham;   Robertsdale Elementary – Robertsdale;   Tuscaloosa Magnet Middle – Tuscaloosa;   Eastwood Middle – Cottondale;   Charles R. Drew Middle – Lincoln;   Davis Hills Middle – Huntsville;   Walker County School of Technology – Jasper;   Farmstead Junior High – Jasper;   Horizon Elementary – Madison;   Tarrant Middle – Tarrant;   Westminster Christian Academy – Huntsville

Winners of the Alabama Regional will compete nationally in Washington D.C. during National Engineer’s Week in February 2011.
