It\u2019s a place where SJSU students can bring out their creative\nside and elementary students can interact with different activities while\nlearning. It\u2019s not only important to teach young students about STEM education,\nbut to also develop a college going culture. EIA brings those two goals\ntogether in an exciting and interactive way. EIA is able to take place with the\nhelp of professors Michael Oye, Emi Ishida, Santosh KC and Ozgur Keles, along\nwith the aid of after-school programs Think Together and CORAL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"479\" height=\"639\" data-attachment-id=\"8110\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/cucsj.org\/pt\/2020\/04\/20\/reinforcing-a-college-going-culture-with-engineering-in-action\/eia2-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cucsj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/4e8ca-eia2-1.png?fit=479%2C639&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"479,639\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"EIA2-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cucsj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/4e8ca-eia2-1.png?fit=479%2C639&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cucsj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/4e8ca-eia2-1.png?resize=479%2C639&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8110\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Materials engineering\nstudents go to different elementary schools for two hours during their after-school\nprograms to present on topics including optics, conductivity, mechanical\nproperties, and much more. Within this time six to seven SJSU groups will lead activities\nthey have created based on their topic. The elementary students rotate between\nthese groups throughout the two-hour period, giving them an opportunity to\nengage and interact with each topic. Within the two-hour timeframe, the\nstudents learn about six different engineering topics and meet many college\nstudents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both SJSU and\nelementary students benefit from EIA in various ways. SJSU students have the\nopportunity to engage with the community and inspire the next generation of\ncollege students. They get to practice how to explain technical terms to non-technical\npeople. They also gain experience on how to interact with young children and\nlearn how to teach a concept in a creative yet informative way. The elementary\nstudents have the chance to interact with SJSU students and learn about college\nlife and engineering and become inspired to attend college themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"452\" height=\"604\" data-attachment-id=\"8105\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/cucsj.org\/pt\/2020\/04\/20\/reinforcing-a-college-going-culture-with-engineering-in-action\/eia3-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cucsj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/408a7-eia3.png?fit=452%2C604&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"452,604\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"EIA3\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cucsj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/408a7-eia3.png?fit=452%2C604&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cucsj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/408a7-eia3.png?resize=452%2C604&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8105\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In past semesters, EIA\nhas gone to several different elementary schools including Lowell Elementary and\nAnne Darling Elementary. This semester\u2019s plan was to go to six elementary\nschools, but due to COVID-19 the school portion of the project was unfortunately\ncancelled. SJSU students are still creating their activities that will be delivered\nusing other methods. And although the project will not provide the elementary\nstudents with that face to face interaction with SJSU students, alternative\noptions are being explored for reinforcing a college-going culture and further\nbenefitting the elementary students. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Engineering in Action (EIA) introduces engineering topics to elementary students in a fun and engaging way.
