The University of Tulsa will initiate a two-week, residential, Young Scholars project in Engineering for 35 students entering grades 9,10 in the eastern Oklahoma regional area. This program is designed to introduce students to engineering as a career option, and is geared toward identifying students of high potential who have had limited prior exposure to engineering or science as a career. The summer program consists of a series of hands-on engineering experiments, an engineering research project, computer workshops to introduce the students to the uses of computers in engineering, field trips to area industries to see and talk to engineers at work, and workshops on engineering ethics. Several follow-up sessions occur during the academic year, during which students spend a Saturday on the UT campus in workshops on engineering problems.

塔尔萨大学将在俄克拉何马州东部地区为35名进入9,10年级的学生启动一个为期两周的住宿青年学者工程项目。该计划旨在向学生介绍工程作为一种职业选择，并针对那些之前接触工程或科学作为职业有限的高潜力学生。暑期课程包括一系列实际操作的工程实验，一个工程研究项目，向学生介绍计算机在工程中的应用的计算机研讨会，实地考察地区工业，与工作中的工程师交谈，以及工程伦理研讨会。在学年期间会有几次后续会议，在此期间，学生们会在德州大学校园里花一个周六的时间参加有关工程问题的研讨会。
