Bryant Middle School pre-engineering students recently
toured Garver headquarters in North Little Rock, Arkansas to learn more about
the types of engineering available to someone considering a career in the
industry.
Engineers from Garver’s Aviation, Transportation, and Water
teams addressed the students regarding major projects they’ve been working on,
including Conway Municipal Airport, the Cottonwood Creek Bridge project, and
the Tupelo Bayou Wastewater Treatment Plant.
“It’s an invaluable experience for these students to be able
to meet with working engineers who can address the questions they have at such
an early age about reaching their career goals,” said Garver Project Manager
Aaron Stallman, who is a graduate of Bryant High School. “If I would have had
the opportunity to do something like this when I was in school, it would have
accelerated my experience as an engineering student.”
Garver is a proud sponsor of the
pre-engineering program at BMS, which is a Project Lead the Way school. PLTW is an internationally
recognized provider for STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics)
curriculum and teacher training.
