The project, which focuses on engineering and computer science and includes both a pre-college recruitment and STEM faculty development effort, is working to produce a 15 % increase in graduates in these disciplines. The pre-college effort is a seven-day program that provides 11th grade high school students and their teachers with an overview of the many varied careers computer scientists and engineers can pursue and connects the high school curriculum with engineering application. Part of each day is devoted to joint sessions enabling students and teachers to explore engineering and computer science fields and to engage in exploratory laboratory activities. During the rest of the day, separate sessions expose students to the undergraduate academic and social community making up campus life and provide teachers with professional development intended to connect traditional course material to engineering and computer science applications. The second component, professional development for the University's STEM faculty is helping them learn, develop, and incorporate effective instructional strategies that provide active learning for their students. These efforts are focusing on concept mapping, the learning cycle, and problem-based learning. The results will be evaluated using surveys and interviews with participating high school students, high school teachers, and computer science and engineering faculty members. The results will be disseminated through interactions with partnering school districts and local companies and by direct contact with other universities.

该项目侧重于工程和计算机科学，包括大学预科招聘和STEM教师发展工作，正在努力使这些学科的毕业生增加15%。 大学预科课程是一个为期七天的课程，为11年级的高中生和他们的老师提供了计算机科学家和工程师可以从事的许多不同职业的概述，并将高中课程与工程应用联系起来。每天的一部分是专门为联合会议，使学生和教师探索工程和计算机科学领域，并从事探索性实验室活动。 在这一天的其余时间，单独的会议让学生接触到本科学术和社会社区组成校园生活，并为教师提供专业发展，旨在将传统课程材料与工程和计算机科学应用相结合。 第二个组成部分，大学STEM教师的专业发展是帮助他们学习，开发和整合有效的教学策略，为学生提供主动学习。 这些努力的重点是概念图、学习周期和基于问题的学习。 结果将通过调查和采访参与的高中学生，高中教师和计算机科学与工程学院的教师进行评估。 结果将通过与合作学区和当地公司的互动以及与其他大学的直接联系来传播。
