College of Engineering Center for Under-Represented Engineering Students

这项计划是针对加州大学伯克利分校的暑期和学年青年学者计划以及各种初中和初中站点。该计划将服务于120名进入八年级、九年级或十年级的学生。该计划的参与者将是90%的黑人、西班牙裔、美洲原住民或波多黎各人，并将通过书面申请和员工面试来选择。青年学者计划将向学生介绍工程和科学概念，向他们展示学术课程工作如何与未来相关，科学和工程如何与他们周围的世界相关，以及科学实践是如何完成的。该方案还将让家长参与，帮助他们了解情况并参与子女的教育活动。暑期计划包括上午的数学和英语课程、关于文化和伦理的研讨会、下午的工程前期活动(演讲、实地考察和项目)，以及“跟踪”计划，学生将在指导科学家和工程师的工作中工作。晚上和周六的研讨会将为家长和学生提供各种主题的信息，包括大学入学要求、经济援助、从中学过渡到中学，以及科学和工程领域的职业选择。

This program is for a summer and academic year Young Scholars Program at the University of California, Berkeley and various middle and junior high school sites. The program will serve 120 students entering grades eight, nine or ten. Program participants will be 90 percent Black, Hispanic, Native American or Puerto Rican, and will be selected through written applications and staff interviews. Young Scholars Program will introduce students to engineering and science concepts in ways that will demonstrate to them how academic course work relates to the future, how science and engineering relate to the world around them, and how the practice of science is accomplished. The program will also involve parents by helping them to become informed and activity involved in the education of their children. The summer program includes morning mathematics and English courses, seminars on culture and ethics, afternoon pre-engineering activities (speakers, fieldtrips, and projects) and a "shadowing" program, whereby students will work on the job with mentor scientists and engineers. Evening and Saturday workshops will provide parents and students with information on a variety of topics, including college entrance requirements, financial aid, making the transition from middle school to secondary school, and career options in science and engineering.
