In this interactive workshop, we’ll address common misconceptions about engineering careers and pathways while offering educators valuable insights into postsecondary engineering education. We will explore the diverse disciplines and applications within engineering, highlight career opportunities, and discuss key factors for student success when applying to engineering programs. Participants will leave with practical strategies to engage students and foster interest in engineering through hands-on design activities. We’ll demonstrate design challenges that can be replicated in any classroom to inspire creative problem-solving and collaboration through the engineering design process. Join us for a myth-busting experience that equips you with the tools to guide and motivate your students toward a future in engineering!
