NSF Young Scholars - Engineering Ahead

肯塔基大学工程学院将为20名高三学生开展为期两周的住宿暑期计划，向他们介绍工程专业，并鼓励他们在工程领域追求职业生涯。参与者将从肯塔基州居民中挑选出来，根据申请包括一份高中成绩单、一篇论文和一封推荐信。特别鼓励年轻女性、少数民族和残疾学生申请。该计划将包括讨论、实验室体验、实地考察和讲座，以彻底了解几个不同的工程学科、职业机会、所需的教育准备和工程职业的道德实践。还将向与会者介绍生物医学工程和制药工程方面的跨学科课程。工作人员将包括来自工程学院的教职员工、研究生和本科生。后续活动将包括在1989年2月下旬返回校园进行学生项目的研讨会陈述；社区对项目参与的认可；以及学生与大学之间的持续交流。

The University of Kentucky College of Engineering will conduct a two- week residential summer program for twenty high school seniors to introduce them to the engineering profession and to encourage them to pursue careers in engineering fields. Participants will be selected from Kentucky residents on the basis of an application to include a high school transcript, an essay, and one letter of recommendation. Young women, minority, and handicapped students are especially encouraged to apply. The program will consist of discussion sessions, laboratory experiences, field trips, and lectures to thoroughly acquaint the students with several different engineering disciplines, career opportunities, required educational preparation, and ethical practices of the engineering profession. Interdisciplinary programs in biomedical engineering and pharmaceutical engineering will also be introduced to the participants. Staffing will include faculty, staff, graduate students, and undergraduate students from the College of Engineering. Follow-up activities will include returning to campus for seminar presentations of student projects in late February, 1989; community recognition for program participation; and continuous communication between the students and the University.
