McNeese State University will initiate a three-week, residential Young Scholars project in Engineering for 20 students entering grades 10-12; the project will be repeated each year for a second set of 20 students. The program will take place in June and July at McNeese State University and at the U.S. Army Engineer Waterway Experiment Station in Vicksburg, Mississippi. At Vicksburg, a three-day coastal engineering workshop will introduce students to the theory and practice of coastal engineering. At McNeese, studies will consist of field work, physical modeling and classroom instruction with field work taking place at two beaches on the Gulf Coast, where students will survey and measure beach profiles. On campus, students will design, build and test models of coastal protection systems in a large wave tank. A physics laboratory course will reinforce concepts of velocity and acceleration, densities of materials and behavior of waves. Classroom instruction will be given in coastal engineering, coastal geology, computer applications, ethics of engineering, career counseling and technical writing.

麦克尼斯州立大学将启动为期三周的住宿 青年学者工程项目为20名学生进入 10-12年级;该项目将每年重复一秒钟 20名学生。 该计划将于6月和7月举行 在麦克尼斯州立大学和美国陆军工程师水道 位于密西西比维克斯堡的实验站。 在维克斯堡，为期三天的海岸工程研讨会将 向学生介绍沿海的理论和实践 工程. 在麦克尼斯，研究将包括实地考察， 物理建模和课堂教学与实地工作 在墨西哥湾沿岸的两个海滩，学生们将在那里调查 并测量海滩剖面。 在校园里，学生们将设计，建造 并在大型波浪水槽中进行了海岸防护系统的模型试验。 物理实验课程将加强速度和速度的概念， 加速度、材料密度和波的行为。 课堂教学将在海岸工程，海岸 地质学，计算机应用，工程伦理，职业 咨询和技术写作。
