The RJEC provides speakers to Central Virginia schools and educational associations for in-class discussions on what engineers do, to assist with special classroom activities related to engineering, and for special events where an engineer speaker is wanted. The Speakers Bureau’s overall goal is to better inform students, teachers, and the public about opportunities in math, science, and engineering careers. Speakers consist of members of many engineering societies who are available to speak on topics such as civil, structural, mechanical, nuclear, industrial, chemical, biomedical, and electrical engineering, among others. Speakers are arranged free of charge upon request.
Some typical examples of events the RJEC Speakers Bureau participates in include:
- Science fair judges
- Class speakers for middle and high school classes
- Engineering Field Day/ Summer Camp mentors
- Panel speakers for teacher training programs
- Graduation banquet speakers
