This 10-day conference provides high school students with hands on engineering experience and opportunities to meet working professionals and to visit engineering schools and facilities in the D.C. or San Francisco area. Examining the ethical dilemmas that arise in the engineering profession, exploring the different subfields of engineering and building a design project are among the many activities that students will experience with the guidance of their Team Advisors. The Role of the Team Advisor Team Advisors (TA) will act as leadership facilitators, simulation monitors and resident advisors. The job of a TA encompasses the role of a chaperone, teacher, mentor, and policy enforcer. As a TA you will facilitate and supervise your TA group of 12-16 students. As their TA, you will be their role model throughout the session. Working with your group is an amazing experience as you watch your students make friends for life and experience the world of engineering in a personal way. Team Advisors arrive on-site three days before students arrive in order to participate in orientation and training and stay for at least two 10-day sessions in Washington, D.C. or San Francisco. Requirements for Employment Team Advisors must be current college students with a background in some discipline of engineering. The most qualified candidates will have participated in leadership programs, workshops, or classes, and will have experience working with high school students.
