Engineering Outreach

The Rio Grande Valley is a region that is 95% hispanic, however only 11% of engineers in the United States are hispanic. Therefore, outreaching to K-12 students is crucial in increasing hispanic representation in the engineering workforce.
Jorge assists in bringing thousands of K-12 students to campus for the Energy & U show in addition to other outreach efforts. In addition, he creates audiovisual content to promote the outreach efforts happening on campus that will hopefully lead to increased enrollment and representation.
