Student Outreach

SFPE Great Plains chapter - Student Outreach The Great Plains chapter of the Society for Fire Protection Engineers wants to reach out to high school and college students regarding careers in the field of Fire Protection Engineering. The SFPE has a presentation on Careers in Fire Protection that can be shared with high school or college students studying Engineering & Architecture. We would like to present it to the classes directly, or share it so the educators can present it if that is preferred, in order to encourage interest in the field of Fire Protection. The SFPE’s ‘Chemistry of Fire’ is geared to high school chemistry students. It will teach students the science behind fire as a way for students to fully understand the dangers of fire. As a result, it will increase the awareness of fire and the importance of home fire prevention. When chemistry students see real world applications of this fascinating science they may be inspired to explore an exciting career as a fire protection engineer. The interactive program comes on a DVD that can be distributed to educators as needed and there is a website with additional resources SFPE EDUCATION.
