Activities Overview

The National Academy of Engineering is tasked with identifying and illuminating issues at the intersections of engineering, technology, and society that impact our quality of life. Studies, symposia, and public information activities are carried out both independently by the NAE Program Office and jointly with other units of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.

    Pathways into Engineering is a hub for programs that inform, inspire, and create opportunities for K–12 students and their caregivers to explore and engage with engineering. The initiative places particular emphasis on reaching young people who may have had limited exposure to engineering or access to mentors in the field, helping to ensure that all interested students can discover pathways into the profession.
