An event that has been described as unique in the state of Florida, the FEEC strives to bridge the engineering workforce and the academic sector through a series of workshops, hands-on activities, and networking sessions. In 2014, the topic was broadened beyond the typical engineering disciplines to address a more comprehensive STEM agenda. K-12 STEM teachers, administrators, practicing engineers and other (informal) educators from across Florida involved in and/or interested in learning more about STEM education are welcome to attend the conference. Activities for the day include:
- Speakers representing the education sector and STEM professional organizations and industries.
- An industry panel to include senior STEM administrators from corporate agencies to discuss the importance of STEM to the future workforce.
- A series of concurrent interactive and hands-on workshops.
