Increasing Rural Nebraska Students' Exposure to Engineering

Here in Nebraska, many of our students are in rural communities. Underrepresentation of rural students in engineering fields persists despite programs such as summer camps, internships, and distance learning opportunities. The Iverson Lab aims to increase knowledge and understanding of the engineering field for rural students through ‘place-based’ programs. We hope to increase representation of this underrepresented population in the field of engineering by exposing them to some of the many exciting opportunities for engineers in today’s world.
