Engineers on Wheels (EoW)
Engineers on Wheels (EoW) program developed and directed by the Center for Development, Support, and Success in Engineering and Computing (CDSSEC) at Florida International University’s (FIU) College of Engineering and Computing (CEC) brings hands-on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education directly into K–12 classrooms and community spaces across Miami-Dade and Broward counties. By mobilizing STEM education experiences where students already are, the program eliminates access barriers and ensures that young learners—regardless of school resources or socioeconomic background—can engage with high-quality STEM activities.
The initiative is designed to spark early interest in STEM by introducing students to engineering concepts through interactive demonstrations, guided projects, and problem-solving challenges. Whether delivered during school visits, community events, or weekend workshops, each session is structured to ignite curiosity, build confidence, and show students what is possible when they pursue STEM pathways.
Beyond its impact on K–12 learners, EoW also serves as a professional development platform for FIU college students. The Student Assistants gain real-world experience in teaching, public engagement, program logistics, and curriculum development—key competencies that strengthen their academic portfolios and career readiness.
Overall, EoW aims to expand regional access to STEM education and create lasting, meaningful impact in the lives of young learners by nurturing their interest and broadening their exposure to engineering from an early age.
