Computers, Graphics and Research

宾夕法尼亚州立大学将为11-12年级的25名学生启动为期两周的数学、计算机科学和工程领域的青年学者项目。该项目是一个面向高中学生的工程预科课程，由终身工程系教授授课。在计算机方面，学生学习数值方法、图形学、CAD和分形。他们对材料的特性进行了六项原始实验，包括使用扫描电子显微镜、超声波检测、激光扫描技术、图像处理和专家系统。技术和工程职业的社会背景也进行了研究。需要一个后续项目。代数ii和三角学是必需的。该项目位于宾夕法尼亚州立大学的大学公园校区。所有的学费、食宿费和课本都是免费的。根据需要，可提供五笔200美元的津贴，用于旅行和收入损失。

The Pennsylvania State University will initiate a two-week, residential, Young Scholars project in Mathematics, Computer Science, and Engineering for 25 students in grades 11-12. The project is a pre-engineering program for high school students, taught by tenured engineering faculty. In computing, students study numerical methods, graphics, CAD, and fractals. They perform six original experiments on the properties of materials, including the use of scanning electron microscopy, ultrasonic detection, laser scanning technology, image processing, and expert systems. The social context of technology and engineering careers are also studied. A follow-up project is required. Algebra-II and Trigonometry are required. The program is located at the University Park campus of The Pennsylvania State University. All tuition, room, board, and textbooks are free. Five stipends of $200 are available, based on need, for travel and lost earnings.
