Utah's Engineers: A Statewide Initiative for Growth

该项目的目标是建立一个可持续的高中/社区学院/犹他大学过渡进程，该进程将培养学生，并每年增加至少180名工程和计算机科学毕业生。该项目符合犹他州的一项全州倡议，代表了热情合作伙伴的草根努力。该项目以学生为中心，包括旨在改善犹他大学和支线机构之间的伙伴关系的活动。该项目还建立了一个社区影响服务学习社区，其中包括针对高中生的实践工程模块的规划、准备和演示方面的跨学科项目。这些模块基于真实世界的工程应用。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，以确定犹他州的学生为什么选择或不选择工程学或计算机科学作为专业。

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.
