Manufacturing and Engineering Externship Program

Note: Teachers looking to apply for the program, access the complete 2021 MEEP application here. 

The Manufacturing and Engineering Externship Program comes to Ohio in the summer of 2020. Under the program, a select group of Ohio educators will learn about problem-based learning, complete an externship in a local STEM industry, and create a new lesson for their classroom.

Through the Ohio STEM Learning Network, Battelle is now seeking industry partners to host teachers. This program is funded by a grant from the Office of Naval Research.

Externship host site responsibilities:
STEM industry partners will host 1-2 local educators onsite for 2-3 days in the fall of 2021. Each externship should include:

• Tour and overview of the worksite including organizational structure, management philosophy, and personnel policies
• Opportunity for staff from all divisions to collaborate with teachers to identify skills and content areas required within different jobs
• Debrief meeting to address final questions before teachers leave
• Relevant resources for teachers to use for in classroom in their lesson
