The University of Notre Dame's Introduction to Engineering program offers high school students with strong academic backgrounds and an interest in engineering the opportunity to further explorepotential career paths in engineering. During the two-week program, students can experience a taste of colle...
By every measure, this program is growing the pipeline of diverse high school students interested in pursuing STEM degrees. Surveys of the first-year cohort of 82 students resulted in 52 out 82 going into STEM degree programs at either 2-year or 4-year schools. In addition, students ...
The course was designed with collaboration from the colleges of engineering and education to increase the interest of high school students in careers in engineering. The course, Science and Technology for High School Teachers, was taught for the first time in the fall of '98. It was designed ...
In its second year at the OSU, the HA program recruited and trained 38 teams of university upper level engineering students and industry alumni to plan and conduct visits to their hometown high schools around the state. As part of the program, the university solicited feedback from four differe...
A pre-engineering program has been developed by The University of Michigan-Flint for highschool students in the Lapper County Intermediate School District (LCISD) to motivate students‟ towards engineering or other STEM disciplines during their undergraduate study. A cohort ofapproximately twenty studen...
UWM has hosted a summer program for female high school students to tackle real-world engineering projects through hands-on learning. The EnQuest program — its name a derivation of “engineering quest” — offers two sessions each summer. Since its inception, hundreds of students have participated...
题目Columbia Engineering's Summer High School Academic Program for Engineers (SHAPE) is a selective pre-college program for high school students and recent graduates.SHAPE is tailored for students with a gift for STEM:science,technology,engineering,and mathematics.Each 3-week ses...
The development of pre-engineering programs at the secondary school level will likely receive increased attention, in part due to the desire to better prepare prospective engineering students for the college experience. In this paper, the authors report their experiences with one such program. In 199...
The performance of the students in the engineering program is evaluated based on the history of their grade point average (GPA) in the engineering program. Meanwhile, their secondary school final scores are used to evaluate their performance in high school. The results of engineering students are ...
Although the program is notjustabout preparing students for jobs, Orsak tells Education World that concern among university educators about the shrinking number of engineering graduates was what spurred him to create the Infinity Project. Each year, only about 2 percent of high school graduates receiv...
