An Introduction to Engineering for Junior High and High School Students

塔尔萨大学将启动一个为期两周的青年工程学住宿学者项目，面向俄克拉荷马州东部地区进入9年级、10年级的35名学生。该项目旨在向学生介绍工程学作为一种职业选择，旨在发现那些以前对工程或科学的职业接触有限的具有高潜力的学生。暑期项目包括一系列实践工程实验、一个工程研究项目、向学生介绍计算机在工程中的使用的计算机研讨会、到地区工业实地考察和与工作中的工程师交谈，以及关于工程伦理的研讨会。在本学年期间，学生们在德克萨斯大学的校园里花了一个星期六的时间参加关于工程问题的研讨会。

The University of Tulsa will initiate a two-week, residential, Young Scholars project in Engineering for 35 students entering grades 9,10 in the eastern Oklahoma regional area. This program is designed to introduce students to engineering as a career option, and is geared toward identifying students of high potential who have had limited prior exposure to engineering or science as a career. The summer program consists of a series of hands-on engineering experiments, an engineering research project, computer workshops to introduce the students to the uses of computers in engineering, field trips to area industries to see and talk to engineers at work, and workshops on engineering ethics. Several follow-up sessions occur during the academic year, during which students spend a Saturday on the UT campus in workshops on engineering problems.
