Community Service

 

Community service activities are organized for engineering students to help promote a sense of responsibility to the community.

 

Student Contests

 

The Engineering Faculty will coordinate and/or make the students aware of contest opportunities such as Girls Go Cyberstart, Ready, Set, App, and National Flight Academy summer program (through Junior Achievement and Delta).

​

Local Enrichment Programs

​

There are many enrichment programs offered through local universities, businesses and organizations.  As these opportunities arise, the Engineering Faculty will share details and registration information with the appropriate student cohorts.  Here is a list of local enrichment programs recently attended by RHS engineering students:

​

• District C

• KPMG Future Leaders Program

• Wake Forest Perry Initiative 

• Duke REP (Research in Engineering Program)  

• Duke ECHO (electrical/computer engineering) program

• DPS Scholars At Work program

• UNC's Young Innovators Program summer internship

• Duke's STAR program

• Bank of America Student Leaders Program

• Duke ESSP (Environmental Summer Science Program)

• NC State's summer design camps

• Chick Tech

• UNC's SPLASH

• Perkins and Will Architecture Explorers

• UNC Project Summit

• UNC WINSPIRE

• TEDx at NCSSM

​

Tallo (formerly Stem Premier)

 

The Engineering Faculty strongly encourages students to register themselves on a professional networking website called Tallo. Posting academic and related information can bring students exposure to internships, college opportunities, scholarship applications and availability through RedKite. It's also a great web-enabled place for developing their resumes.

​

Xello (formerly Career Cruising)

​

Riverside Engineering makes extensive use of an online web app, which is supported by the DPS Career and Technical Education central office, known as Xello - a revolutionary future-readiness program.  Built with thousands of hours of research with educators, Xello puts students at the heart of their journey of self-discovery. By delivering an engaging student experience, Xello helps students achieve real results in multiples stages of their career and college planning.

FIRST Robotics

 

The FIRST Robotics Club at the School of Science and Math is open to all Engineering students. In this club, students design, build, and enter competitions with robots. Students not only learn mechanical and design skills, but they also become familiar with programming software.  If you are interested in joining, you can find more information on the Zebracorns website.
