ECS has partnered with Little Diversified Architectural Consulting for Engineering Explorers Post, an 8-week program engaging high school students in real-world STEM careers for the last 3 years. ECS Charlotte hosts a group of 15 to 30 students and provides hand-on learning for the geotechnical specialty of civil engineering including classifying soils and taking a tour of our soils and concrete laboratory. Little and ECS were recently awarded the William H. Spurgeon Award, the highest recognition for organizations contributing significant leadership to the Exploring Program, by the Scouting BSA Mecklenburg County Council.
