Classroom to College to Career

On October 7, Jim Kunard, professional engineer and past president of the Florida Engineering Society's Palm Beach chapter, joined electrical engineer Shams Moghadam in a visit to our SECME club. They began their talk with a review of the technical drawings for the emergency generator building at school district HQ and brought it home by reviewing students’ technical drawings for the mousetrap-powered cars to compete in April's districtwide SECME Olympiad. Their demonstration of engineering expertise showed our Hawks a ‘flowchart’—from classroom to college to career—and emphasized the importance of engineering innovation to our everyday lives.

Our SECME chapter, sponsored by Mr. Erich Landstrom, provides many such opportunities for students to participate in hands-on activities that involve engineering problem solving techniques. The club provides not only a deeper understanding of the engineering profession but also a foundation for college-level engineering education.
