STUDENT IMPACT PROJECT

EAA's Student Impact Project is a powerful vehicle for members of the structural engineering profession to make an incredible impact on the lives and futures of many young people.
Structural engineers volunteer their time to teach high school students about art
and engineering during an eight-week program from early February to the
end of March/early April, with a final event in PG&E’s auditorium with all
participating teams presenting their bridges. The program takes place
in high schools in San Francisco and the East Bay. A team of four
engineers jointly teaches each class. An experienced lead
engineer coordinates volunteer engineer teams.

Presented in 2001 as a pilot program in two San
Francisco Unified School District high schools, the
project grew to serve eight schools annually and is
critically acclaimed by students, educators, and
administrators.

Past and present participating schools have
come from:

• San Francisco
• Concord
• Castro Valley
• El Cerrito
• Moraga
• Oakland
• Atherton
