Engineering Ahead|/NSF Young Scholars Program

肯塔基大学将为20名12年级学生启动为期两周的住宿青年学者工程项目。该项目向参与者介绍工程专业，鼓励他们从事工程领域的职业。该课程包括讨论、团队项目、实验室体验、实地考察和讲座，以使学生彻底了解各种工程学科、职业机会、所需的教育准备和工程专业的道德实践。学生每天在计算机实验室和基础工程物理中接受指导。学生们需要在他们所在学校的秋季学期完成一个单独的项目，然后在1991年2月下旬，与国家工程师周同时，回到校园进行这些项目的研讨会报告。社区对学生参与计划的认可，以及学生与大学之间的持续沟通，促进了后续活动的开展。

The University of Kentucky will initiate two-week, residential, Young Scholars project in Engineering for 20 students in the 12th grade. This project introduces participants to the engineering profession, encouraging them to pursue careers in engineering fields. The program consists of discussion sessions, a team project, laboratory experiences, field trips, and lectures to thoroughly acquaint the students with varied engineering disciplines, career opportunities, required educational preparation, and ethical practices of the engineering profession. Students receive daily instruction in a computer laboratory and in basic engineering physics. Students are expected to complete an individual project during the fall semester at their home school and then return to campus for seminar presentations of those projects in late February, 1991, to coincide with National Engineers' Week. Community recognition for program participation and continuous communication between the students and the University enhances follow-up activities.
