The American Council of Engineering Companies in Missouri and Kansas (ACEC-MO and ACEC-KS) and US Army Corps of Engineers Kansas City District, working through a standing liaison committee, are organizing an outreach program to encourage middle school students in the Kansas City School District to consider careers in engineering and the sciences.  The Kansas City District Corps office is leading the effort and has asked the liaison committee members, member firms, and interested parties to offer names of people interested in taking the engineering career message into the classroom.  The initial focus will be on a limited number of Kansas City School District middle schools but may potentially expand to other school districts if the program is successful.

EWB-KC members interested in participating should send your names and contact information to Joe Marsh ( This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ) by close of business, Thursday, 7/23/09.  As a member of the committee, Joe will consolidate the names and forward to the entire committee, who will then follow up directly with additional program information.

If you have questions about the program, please contact Jim Foil ( This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ) or by calling him at 816.822.3180.
