Electronic Instruments available on loan to schools from ACC
Thu, 2008-01-10 16:49 — jserdaThe electronics department at the Austin Community College Riverside campus has many surplus electronic instruments that they want to loan to area schools for use by teachers in their science and technology classes. The instruments are in excellent condition and great for demonstrating principles of electricity, electronics and physics. As of January 9, the instruments include 60 Tektronix oscilloscopes, 28 Tektronix function generators, 46 Tek power supplies, 2 frequency counters, and 13 Simson 260 multimeters.

Volunteers
Fri, 2006-09-01 18:00 — texJoin the Central Texas EWeek Organization in its mission to encourage school children to pursue technology careers by introducing role models from the local engineering community. We are looking for a diverse group of engineers to visit classrooms and lead hands-on activities that demonstrate teamwork and logical processes while discussing their jobs and their enthusiasm for engineering. Come learn about our volunteer opportunities and how you can join in sharing the world of engineering with local students, elementary through high school.
