Who are the engineers of 2020? They are sitting in your fifth grade classroom today!
Exploiting engineering as a vehicle to integrate math and science , the ITL Program offers a wide range of hands-on engineering initiatives for K-12 teachers and students, faculty and the general public.
The ITL Program won the 2005-06 Diversity Service Recognition Award from the CU-Boulder Chancellor's Advisory Committee on Minority Affairs. ITL was selected for its commitment to creating a more diverse student population at CU-Boulder and for enriching the exposure of K-12 students to engineering, reaching out in particular to students of color, young women, and first-generation college-bound students.
The University of Colorado at Boulder uses the term engineering education to describe the various ways in which the University extends its expertise for the direct benefit of Colorado communities and other external audiences.
