MISSION STATEMENT

EAA is an organization that brings professional engineers into the
classroom, creating a life changing experience for the students to
learn problem solving, team building, develop presentation,
written and verbal skills, and create original to-scale model
bridges in an environment that ties engineers and students in
the artistry that unites our world.

EAEAA successfully demonstrates "hands-on" the connection
between art and science. It offers students insight into the
structural engineering profession, while inspiring and
energizing engineering professionals.

EAA's GOALS

  • give students a clear understanding and
    knowledge of structural engineering principles

  • bring a fresh and exciting tool to the educational
    experience, demonstrating the interdisciplinary
    nature of engineering by placing the arts at the
    center of the learning experience;

  • inspire students to pursue careers in the
    structural engineering and technical
    professions with an understanding of the
    importance played by creativity and
    aesthetics;

  • make students aware of the impact the
    work of structural engineers has on our
    immediate and everyday surroundings,
    including the quality of our life;

  • place structural engineers in the
    forefront as educational and
    philanthropic leaders and as
    proponents of the importance of
    the arts in the development
    not only of future artists, but
    engineers as well.
