Community Engagement

The Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering recognizes the importance of Community Service and considers our involvement in STEM education crucial. We provide a variety of programs specifically designed to empower and engage young minds with an interest in STEM fields. Over the past 25 years, the College has actively supported initiatives such as the AWE and BEST camps for middle school students and RISE HS for high schoolers, which are listed below.  The College has established successful collaborations with regional communities, and we are enthusiastic about further nurturing existing relationships and forging new partnerships. This collaboration is mutually beneficial—our engineering students mentor the camps enhancing their contributions to society, while future STEM students delve into the dynamic world of engineering.
