ACE (which stands for architecture, construction and engineering) is a national extra-curricular high school program. Locally, students from twelve different area high schools meet twice monthly after school to develop a theoretical project. Industry mentors provide expertise and guidance throughout the school year. The program culminates with an annual presentation of all the projects and scholarship awards.

We are honored that the administrators of ACE recognize the importance of the post construction lifecycle of a facility and as part of our Chapter's Outreach program (to expose potential future facilities managers to this career choice), we have partnered with the ACE Program.

As we develop this relationship with ACE, our involvement is solely with the El Camino High School in Oceanside. The students are planning to present a plan for a soccer stadium in the El Corazon area. Industry experts are desperately needed to come and present for 15-20 minutes to the students about your area of expertise - what you do, how you prepared for your job, what kind of projects you work on, etc. Meetings are every other Wednesday from 3-5 p.m. at the school.

Of particular interest at the moment is structural engineering, but facility managers, landscape architects, security consultants, transportation planners, interior designers/planners - all are needed! If you are interested in becoming an ACE mentor or being a one-time presenter, please contact Jolie Lucas at [email protected] to schedule a date.
