What Makes Us Unique?

SECME is the oldest Pre-college (K-12) alliance, linking engineering universities, school systems, parents and corporate/government partners.

SECME is "Teacher-Centered." It’s primary business always has been to renew, revitalize, and retool teachers, in mind and spirit, through its Summer Institutes and year-round staff development.
Although SECME focuses on engineering, it produces students who can succeed in other fields, as well as engineering.
It has a parent program model that not only informs and educates parents, motivating them to get involved and stay involved in their child’s education but provides an experience, a journey for them to travel along with their children.
