Energy and Environmental Awareness and Career Opportunity Workshop

GMI工程与管理学院将为30名进入9年级的学生启动一个为期三周的通勤青年学者物理项目。被选中的学生将参加关于各种能源的课堂讨论，如煤炭、汽油、核能和太阳能。通过动手实验，他们将了解光和电的基本特性；这些概念将用于理解太阳能。他们将进行几个实验来了解太阳能电机和太阳能电池的效率。环境化学的实践实验也将进行，学生将了解二氧化碳气体排放，温室效应，臭氧层损耗和有毒废物。将学习计算机（包括个人电脑和大型主机）的原理和操作，以及基本的编程技能。学生将承担物理和化学的研究项目，并就他们的发现撰写研究论文。

The GMI Engineering and Management Institute will initiate a three- week, commuter Young Scholars project in Physics for 30 students entering grade 9. The selected students will participate in classroom discussions about various sources of energy such as coal, gasoline, nuclear and solar. Through hands-on experiments they will learn about the basic properties of light and electricity; these concepts will be used in understanding solar power. They will perform several experiments to understand solar motors and solar cell efficiency. Hands-on experiments will also be performed in environmental chemistry where students will learn about carbon dioxide gas emission, the greenhouse effect, ozone layer depletion and toxic waste. Principles and operations of computers (both PC and mainframe) along with BASIC programming skills will be developed. Students will undertake research projects in physics and chemistry and write research papers about their findings.
