Building "Bridges" Across the Bayou City!

Read MoreEngineers in Real Life (EIRL) was created in 2015 to show K-12 students what engineers do. All K-12 students from the Houston/Galveston area are welcome to attend on February 25th, 2023 from 9am – noon at Clear Lake High School (located near NASA).
The last time it was held in person was February 2020 – right before the big shut-down. It had 160 engineers from all sorts of industries – NASA, medical devices, environmental cleanup, industrial, infrastructure (electricity, water, roads), chemical, oil & gas, marine, and more – as well as professors and students from (ABET accredited) engineering programs as diverse as San Jac, Lamar U, Texas State I, TAMU Galveston, UH, Rice University, and more.
If you or your engineering team would be interested in participating to inspire the next generation, sign up at www.EngineersIRL.org or reach out to [info@EngineersIRL.org](mailto:info@EngineersIRL.org).
The website also has signups for Students (or parents) and Educators (including scoutmasters, churches, or others guiding children’s groups). You don’t need to sign up to attend, but it will get you early insider information on who will be there and where they will be located.
This is a no-cost event brought to you by the Clear Lake HS PTA in conjunction with CCISD, IEEE, and the NSF BRAIN Center (located at UH Main Campus in the Electrical Engineering Dept.)

The company is expanding and looking to hire veterans/service-disabled veterans for machine operators, production controls, and quality inspectors. They will make accommodations for pretty much any disability. If you know someone who might qualify and …

They have reps from Aerospace, Biomedical, Chemical, Environmental Clean-Up, Industrial, Infrastructure (electricity, water, transportation), Oil & Gas, and much more!
There are over 150 engineers signed up from 30+ companies and 7 universities. The universities are sending researchers not recruiters. Come see the cool stuff happening at Rice’s biomed department or the Robotics lab from UH-Clear Lake.
There will be demos of tools and equipment, like Hilti Industrial tools and Blacklion Solar Power. Some combine their hobbies in their display, like the nuclear engineer who does environmental clean up but blacksmiths in his spare time who will be bringing and displaying his forge.
It’s happening tomorrow (February 1st) from 9am-noon at Clear Lake High School (2929 Bay Area Blvd, Houston, 77058).
