Building for the Future

摘要

More than 3,500 students a year are getting a first-hand look at the engineering, construction and architectural world in what is becom-ing one of the most talked about mentoring programs in the industry. The ACE Mentor Program, now finishing its ninth full year as a non-profit corporation, has a presence in most major cities in America and it is still growing. When the ACE Mentor Program began in 1995, no one truly understood the positive impact it would have on high school students and the architectural, construction management and engineering industries. Professionals from these industries, the three pillars of this multifaceted program-thus the name ACE-provide hands-on experience to thousands of young high school students each year. From New York to Los Angeles, from Seattle to Miami, from Chicago to Dallas, even Honolulu, students work alongside mentors who engage them in the planning, creation and implementation of some of the biggest projects happening in the United States each year.
