Attracting Women to Engineering (AWE)

Attracting Women Into Engineering (AWE) is designed to introduce middle school girls entering the 7th and 8th grades to the field of engineering. Participants in the highly competitive workshops will interact with faculty members and undergraduate students via hands-on experiments in the various fields of engineering. The goal of AWE is to provide middle school girls with opportunities to explore multiple engineering disciplines while reinforcing the need for them to stay focused on their science and math studies.

Engineering Clinics For Teachers (ECT)

Science, mathematics and engineering are essential partners in paving the way for America’s future through discovery, learning and innovation. Enhanced engineering education in our K-12 classrooms can provide students at an earlier age with a more specific understanding of what a technical career entails. We must encourage teachers to assume a more active role not only in the implementation/delivery of the educational experience for the student, but also in the innovation and continuous improvement necessary for engineering education to meet these challenges. Rowan University’s Colleges of Engineering and Education are offering an Engineering Clinic experience for middle school teachers. Modeled after the unique Rowan Engineering Clinics, Engineering Clinics for Teachers (ECT) utilizes real world problem solving via innovative creative measures.

Garrett A. Morgan Technology and Transportation Education Program (GAMTTEP)

The South Jersey GAMTTEP program is a partnership between the Millville School District and the College of Engineering at Rowan University. Millville Public Schools is the Lead Education Agency for the Southern New Jersey GAMTTEP Collaborative. GAMTTEP stands for the Garrett A. Morgan Technology and Transportation Education Program. The program is named after Garrett A. Morgan an African-American inventor famous for his traffic light signal innovation. GAMTTEP’s purpose is to “improve the preparation of students, particularly women and minorities, in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through curriculum development and other activities related to transportation.”

Project Lead the Way (PLTW)

Rowan University is the State of New Jersey Affiliates to Project Lead The Way (PLTW). PLTW is geared towards inspiring middle school and high school students to pursue a career in engineering and technology. Project Lead the Way partners with higher educational institutions to promote pre-engineering courses in the nation’s high schools, and provides an integrated math, science, and technology curriculum in the middle schools. More information can be found at www.pltw.org, and a brief description found at http://www.pltw.org/professional-development/affiliates/affiliates-Rowan.html.

Rowan's Introduction for Students to Engineering (RISE)

Rowan's Introduction for Students to Engineering (RISE) is a summer workshop that features laboratory clinics, where students can participate in engineering activities, as well as campus tours and a chance to meet College of Engineering professors and students. Students from high schools throughout the South Jersey work with chocolate, Legos, Jenga blocks and bottle rockets during several hands-on engineering workshops and clinics.
