Student Mentoring Program

 The Student Mentoring Program (SMP) is designed to stimulate Secondary School students' interest and excitement in engineering, architecture, and related sciences. SMP is a critical thinking, problem solving program that engages students to solve real world problems in the community. The Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) and the Peter Kiewit Institute (PKI) support teachers and students in this program with; mentors from the engineering/architectural fields, guidelines, teacher/ student workshops, and the structure that provides an authentic audience for the demonstration of the student solutions. The use of engineering skills that teach team work, sustainable design, presentation skills, use of graphic materials, model development, cost estimating, and creative, persuasive and technical writing, are supported within the SMP experience.
