Engineering Ahead| -- An NSF Young Scholars Program

肯塔基大学将启动一个为期三周的住宿工程青年学者项目，该项目将为30名进入11年级和12年级的学龄前学生提供科学丰富活动。这个暑期课程将强调参与化学、土木、电气和机械工程方面的研究。基本工程原理的讲座和演示，动手操作的计算机体验，在工厂跟随工程师的实地考察，以及相互整合的小型研究小组项目将构成该计划的核心。学生们将在自己学校的秋季学期完成一个与工程相关的个人项目。

The University of Kentucky will initiate a three-week, residential Young Scholars project in Engineering which will offer science enrichment activities for 30 precollege students entering grades 11,12. This summer program will emphasize research participation in chemical, civil, electrical and mechanical engineering. Lectures and demonstrations in basic engineering principles, hands-on computer experiences, field trips featuring a day of shadowing an engineer in an industrial plant, and mini-research group projects all integrated with one another will form the core of the program. Students will complete an individual project of engineering relevance during the Fall semester at their home schools.
