High School Educators
One of the most important decisions you'll help your students make is about how to prepare for their career. JETS has been helping educators guide their students toward rewarding careers in engineering and technology for nearly 60 years.
It doesn't take a "rocket scientist" to see that engineering is one of the most creative and in-demand careers out there. Yet, it is also one of the most underestimated and misunderstood. Most students don't even think of it and most educators aren't fully prepared to help their students understand and pursue engineering and all the opportunities it holds.
Get involved! Teachers and school counselors are a driving force in making JETS programs available to students. Bring engineering to life in your classroom (or after school activity) with JETS programs and resources!
Find out how you can help your students explore ... assess ... and experience the possibilities of a career in engineering.
EXPLORE
Sign up for our free online newsletter Pre-Engineering Times for access to engineer interviews, discipline profiles, articles of interest, classroom curriculum, and college information you can share with your students, plus on all the latest news from JETS. Help students explore the vast opportunities engineering provides and discover how they can turn their interests into an engineering degree or career.
ASSESS
This JETS assessment tool is perfect for either a high school guidance program or a university pre-orientation event. ASSESS evaluates a student's preparedness for an engineering curriculum by testing their math and science knowledge as well as their critical understanding and problem solving skills. It helps educators and students identify students' strengths and weaknesses and align students' specific talents and interests with an appropriate engineering discipline.
EXPERIENCE
Help your students experience the "real world" of engineering through problem solving, team building, daily and weekly engineering challenges, and more. Consider serving as a coach or mentor in one of our national engineering competitions designed specifically for high school students: NEDC or TEAMS. Let JETS help you give your students a life-changing experience.
