Engineers on Wheels with Chrysler and Florida International University

Florida International University’s (FIU) College of Engineering and Computing will begin rolling engineering education into South Florida’s public school classrooms this fall with the launch of “Engineers on Wheels,” an innovative, hands-on STEM education initiative sponsored by Chrysler Group LLC and The Chrysler Foundation, the automotive company’s charitable arm.

Working closely with FIU’s Education Effect – a university community school partnership that launched its second site at Booker T. Washington Senior High School this year – the Engineers on Wheels van will visit South Florida classrooms this fall, providing hands-on activities and engineering experiments led by FIU students and overseen by FIU faculty.
