In respect to the importance of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education to the future economic well-being of the nation, and the declining numbers of students (US citizens) choosing STEM professions, the Department of Defense (DOD) through the National Defense Education Program (NDEP) has initiated programs to develop and implement strategies to further enhance STEM education efforts in various geographic areas across our nation.

At the Center for Engineering Outreach, we believe that becoming an engineer is possible for anyone–that’s why we’re committed to inspiring and preparing tomorrow’s engineers. By working with K-12 educators, administrators, and students, Texas Tech University Engineering student mentors know that they can help ready a new generation of builders, problem-solvers, and innovators. Engineering Outreach Mentors not only provide STEM services to area and local students in classroom programs such as robotics, rocketry, physics, computers, mathematics, physics, etc., but they participate in community events such as NASA Space Day, Women in Science Endeavors conferences, NANO Day, and the Texas Alliance for Minorities in Engineering (TAME) Trailblazer program.
RIPPLE institute’s mission is to inspire young people to pursue careers in science, technological, engineering and mathematical fields of study. This mission is accomplished through an outsource model of community partnership/outreach. The RIPPLE Institute utilizes an outsource model that works with educational institutions to provide a core of basic skills that become the platform for high academic standards and achievement.
