UHS Engineering Club

The Union High School Engineering Club promotes student participation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through projects, competitions, speakers, and other activities. We provide lunchtime and after school opportunities for students to pursue engineering projects, and mentoring for STEM students.

Meetings

Club Meetings, Activities, Competitions, and Technology Education Events are scheduled in the Engineering Club gCalendar, which is listed on the Calendars page along with the Science Olympiad and Union main calendars.

Meeting Times: Engineering Club meets Tuesdays at lunch.

The Club uses google sites and groups for collaboration on projects:

The Union HS Engineering Club Google Site https://sites.google.com/site/unionhsengineering/ for collaboration on projects across students and school/home computers.
The http://groups.google.com/group/union-hs-engineering-club google group is used for Email distribution management.

Funding

The Engineering Club introduces students to Software and Tools used in Union Engineering computers or available for download at minimal cost for home use. The club relies on Fundraising and Donations for project materials, please consider making a donation.

Projects and Activities

WSU Imagine Tomorrow Sustainable Energy Competition is the club's primary activity, but we support a range of STEM related activities.

the social benefits of these projects may make them eligible for approval as topics for student's Research Analysis Paper and Culminating Project graduation requirements.

The club supports student involvement in a range STEM related activities
