Young Scholars Summer Science Institute

位于格林斯堡的匹兹堡大学将于1989年秋季为36名进入十年级或十一年级的青年学者提供为期四周的暑期科学研究所。它将包括关于科学事业的研讨会、实地考察、与科学家的用餐时间会议和后续活动。开设的迷你课程有：(1)计算机组织，(2)基因操纵：朋友或敌人，(3)数学建模中的线性优化，以及(4)科学中的哲学与伦理学：案例研究。每个迷你课程都有一个项目和报告。关于科学辅助的课程包括：科学方法和数据解释、软件包、统计学、科学写作、口头报告、文字处理和CAD/CAM演示。科学领域的职业研讨会的题目是：“21世纪对科学家、工程师和教师的需求”、“工程职业”、“计算机科学、化学、生命科学、数学、物理和统计学的职业”。到私人工业设施的实地考察将使参与者对就业机会有第一手的了解。学生将被鼓励带着同学和老师参加UPG一年一度的科学日活动。

The University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg will offer four week, Summer Science Institute for thirty-six Young Scholars entering the tenth or eleventh grade in the fall of 1989. It will consist of seminars on careers in the sciences, field trips, meal time meetings with scientists, and follow-up activities. Mini-courses to be conducted are: (1) Computer Organization, (2) Gene Manipulation: Friend or Foe, (3) Linear Optimization in Mathematical Modeling, and (4) Philosophy and Ethics in Science: Case Studies. A project and report are associated with each mini-course. Sessions on scientific aids include: scientific methods and data interpretation, software packages, statistics, scientific writing, oral presentations word processors, and CAD/CAM demonstrations. Career seminars in the sciences are entitled: "The Need for Scientists, Engineers, and Teachers in the Twenty-first Century," "Engineering Careers," "Careers in Computer Science, Chemistry, Life Sciences, Mathematics, Physics, and Statistics." Field trips to private industrial facilities will give participants first-hand knowledge of career opportunities. Students will be encouraged to bring classmates and teachers to one of three annual Science Day (s) at UPG.
