For the last decade, 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 st...
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 colleg...

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...
Yet, the evidence based on if and how participation in such programs shapes student intentions and commitment to STEM pathways is currently limited, most especially for pre-college programming. This study asks: How do high school students' engineering mindsets and their views of engineering/engineers...
One common form of outreach by colleges of engineering is the ambassador program, whereby students interact with middle and high school audiences in an effort to promote STEM-related career choices. Although the impact of such programs o... J Garner,C Haas,M Alley,... - 《Journal of Stem ...
The paper also reports the pre test and post test results of a three-week science unit on engineering principles and design that was taught by one of the teachers in the capstone course. The results of the study indicate that more knowledge of engineering makes attitudes of high school ...
continues to grow, however. "High school is the most sensitive period for kids deciding on careers," says Orsak. "It was clear we needed to be in with kids then and get in their thought space. What we wanted to do first was show them that engineering is not just something done in ...
The purpose of this study was to explore the engineering problem finding ability of high school students at three high schools in Minnesota. Students at each of the three schools had differing backgrounds including pre-engineering coursework, traditional technology education coursework and advanced science...
High School Senior Engineering Scholarships With the nationwide emphasis on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education, high school students who excel in these areas often stand out and are eligible to compete for a plethora of scholarship opportunities available to engineering majors.
