An Introduction to Chemical Engineering for Native American and Minority High School Students

这个拟议中的项目旨在提高美国原住民、少数民族和女学生对工程学作为一种职业的认识。该计划将把9年级、10年级和11年级的学生作为主要候选人。这些学生将从俄克拉荷马州东北部地区选出，其中包括阿肯色州西北部，密苏里州西南部和堪萨斯州东南部的部分地区。这将是在塔尔萨大学为期两周的校园会议，在此期间，学者们将与系里的教师、化学工程专业的本科生以及来自当地行业的精选代表（包括来自该项目所针对的不同群体的个人）进行互动。此外，学者们将通过实验室实验和一个小型研究项目接触到实际的化学工程问题。

The proposed project is designed to increase awareness of engineering as a career 20 for Native American, minority, and female students. The program will target students entering the 9th, 10th and 11th grade as the primary candidates. These students will be selected from the northeastern Oklahoma regional area, which includes portions of northwest Arkansas, southwest Missouri, and southeast Kansas. This will be a two-week on-campus session at the University of Tulsa where the scholars will interact with departmental faculty, undergraduate students in Chemical Engineering, and selected representatives from local industry (including individuals from the various groups at which this program is targeted). In addition, the scholars will be exposed to hands-on chemical engineering problems through laboratory experiments and a small research project.
