Teaching children Civil Engineering

 -My senior capstone project is to teach young children about civil engineering. My goal is to get them to get a feel for what the civil engineering field is and what engineers do in their work force. I want children to get a sense about engineering by doing some hands on activities and getting them involved. I want to make learning about engineering fun.
 - It is very important that we get more engineers in these upcoming years. As of now there is a high demand of engineers. The United States goes out of their way and gets engineers from other countries to come into the United States and that costs allot of money. That is unnecessary money being wasted, because we can just educate more people here about engineering and then have more engineers in our future.
   -By achieving these goals I know that once I am done with my engineering career there will be more and maybe even brighter engineers coming into the civil engineering field. We will not have to worry about having a lack of engineers.
   -Having more engineers will help our society out allot by not having to go to other countries and bring in engineers from there. We will have more brains to think together and come up with better projects and ideas to make sure our community and society is safe. Buildings, roadways, bridges etc. will be better built and much safer. People will not have to be so worried about a miscalculation or a mistake. We can even have buildings etc. better for the environment, something that is more Eco friendly.
   -By teaching these kids I will always help them feel as if they do have a big and bright future ahead of them. Now they will know more about the civil Engineering career and lifestyle. I enjoy helping kids and by doing this I will be teaching them what my major is and inspiring them all at the same time.
