Young Scholars in Engineering

多尔特学院将启动一个为期两周的通勤青年工程学者项目，面向8-9年级的30名学生。这个项目的目的是激励学生把工程学作为职业目标。该项目包括一系列协调的讲座和实验室体验，激发学生对工程学的兴趣，发展必要的技能和才能，并向学生介绍攻读工程学学位所需的基本高中课程。对合作行业的实地考察加强了课堂活动。学生们被布置了一个项目，要求他们在课堂、实验室和工作场所中使用所学知识。学年后续活动展示了已完成的项目，并为同行提供了未来继续参加研讨会的动力。

The Dordt College will initiate a two-week, commuter, Young Scholars project in engineering for 30 students in grades 8-9. The purpose of this project is to motivate students to consider engineering as a vocational goal. The project includes a series of coordinated lectures and laboratory experiences which stimulate the students' interest in engineering, develop the necessary skills and talents, and inform the students as to the essential high school courses required to pursue an engineering degree. Field trips to cooperating industries reinforce classroom activities. Students are assigned a project which requires them to use what they have learned in the classroom, laboratory, and workplace. The academic year follow-up activities demonstrate completed projects, and provide motivation for peers to pursue the workshop in the future.
