Outreach
Electronics and Engineering Workshops: We hosted
sixty-four (64) elementary students this year as part of the
educational component of CASA. In the workshops the students are
offered an overview presentation “What is Electrical Engineering?”,
“How can Engineering help People" and “Basics of Electrical Circuits?”.
They then proceed to build electronic circuits and see demonstrations
on robotics and radars.
Also as part of the educational component we created our
CASA Reading Book Club in which students are encourage to read and
share their reviews about non-technical books that help them develop
professionally. The chosen books include topics such as: effective
speaking in public, communications skills, enhancing networking skills,
awareness on world social-political issues, and controlling stress.
Last October of 2003, The first Educational Component

component of Education and Research. In the same students of sixth
degree of the local school (SESO) received intructions of how arming a
circuit. This activity was carried out in the Laboratory of CLIMMATE of
the Department
