Engineering Ahead|/NSF Young Scholars Program

肯塔基大学将为20名12年级学生启动为期两周的青年工程学住宿项目。该项目将参与者介绍到工程专业，鼓励他们在工程领域追求职业生涯。该计划包括讨论、团队项目、实验室体验、实地考察和讲座，以全面了解不同的工程学科、职业机会、所需的教育准备和工程职业的道德实践。学生在计算机实验室和基础工程物理方面接受日常指导。学生们需要在秋季学期在自己的母校完成一个单独的项目，然后在1991年2月下旬回到校园参加这些项目的研讨会报告，这一天恰逢国家工程师周。社区对项目参与的认可和学生与大学之间的持续沟通加强了后续活动。

The University of Kentucky will initiate two-week, residential, Young Scholars project in Engineering for 20 students in the 12th grade. This project introduces participants to the engineering profession, encouraging them to pursue careers in engineering fields. The program consists of discussion sessions, a team project, laboratory experiences, field trips, and lectures to thoroughly acquaint the students with varied engineering disciplines, career opportunities, required educational preparation, and ethical practices of the engineering profession. Students receive daily instruction in a computer laboratory and in basic engineering physics. Students are expected to complete an individual project during the fall semester at their home school and then return to campus for seminar presentations of those projects in late February, 1991, to coincide with National Engineers' Week. Community recognition for program participation and continuous communication between the students and the University enhances follow-up activities.
