The goal of this project is to establish a sustainable high school/community college/University of Utah transition process that will nurture students and increase the number of engineering and computer science graduates by at least 180 per year. The project is in keeping with a statewide initiative in Utah and represents a grass-roots effort by enthusiastic partners. The project is student-centered and includes activities designed to improve partnership relationships between the University of Utah and feeder institutions. The project also establishes a Community Impact service learning community that includes interdisciplinary projects in the planning, preparation, and presentation of hands-on engineering modules aimed at high school students. The modules are based on real-world engineering applications. As part of this project a market survey is being conducted using state-of-the-art tools to determine why Utah students do or don't choose engineering or computer science as a major.

该项目的目标是建立一个可持续的高中/社区学院/犹他州大学的过渡过程，这将培养学生，并增加工程和计算机科学毕业生的数量，每年至少180人。该项目与犹他州的一项全州倡议保持一致，代表了热情合作伙伴的基层努力。该项目以学生为中心，包括旨在改善犹他州和支线机构之间的合作伙伴关系的活动。该项目还建立了一个社区影响服务学习社区，其中包括针对高中学生的动手工程模块的规划，准备和演示的跨学科项目。这些模块基于现实世界的工程应用。作为该项目的一部分，正在使用最先进的工具进行市场调查，以确定为什么犹他州的学生选择或不选择工程或计算机科学作为专业。
