A powerful pair: the new Texas Tech Academic Coat-of-arms alongside the Double T
New Beginnings, Renewed Commitments
As part of the Texas Tech University System's re-branding campaign, the Center for Engineering Outreach is proud to unveil our new identity mark featuring the Texas Tech Academic Coat-of-arms.
For us, this marks the start of an exciting new chapter as we embrace a logo that reflects our position as a leader in K-12 engineering outreach while remaining uniquely Texas Tech.
Engineering Month: Celebrating Engineering at Texas Tech
Great things happen here at the College of Engineering.
From our first elected member of the National Academy of Engineers to our cutting-edge research in nanotechnology, our students and faculty are being recognized on a national scale.
To highlight the successes of the past year, we're celebrating with a month full of events that showcase the tradition of engineering excellence here at Texas Tech.
Workshop Spotlight
Introduction to Robotics
Whether you're looking for a new way to teach logical thinking skills and science or simply a fun way to do professional development, Introduction to Robotics is a summer highlight of the center's annual teacher training workshops.
Covering in-depth topics ranging from the history of robotics and basic ROBOLAB programming to gear ratios and classroom lesson plans, Introduction to Robotics is a great way for science and technology teachers to incorporate a new teaching style into their curriculum or prepare their classes to compete in competitions like FIRST Lego League.
