Future Scientists and Engineers of America (FSEA)

美国未来科学家和工程师协会（FSEA） 促进数学和科学的结构化课后计划 通过美国年轻人的工程应用， 从4到12 FSEA的动手项目越来越多 的复杂性，为学生提供实用的 科学和数学的工程应用。 学生 通过类似于童子军的类别推进， 圆满完成项目。 他们进入作为一个 技术员并晋升为科学家和工程师。 分会是由企业、专业协会 和社区组织提供指导和资金 对于FSEA项目。每个项目由一个团队进行 由一名志愿教师和一名志愿导师组成。 一 导师必须具有科学或技术背景， 工程领域。 导师可以是志愿者， 工业、退休科学家和工程师或工程师 学生 在不到一年的时间里，导师和教师参加了启动- 成功举办了24个讲习班和分会。 对章节开发的需求不断增加， 强调少数民族和女青年，创造了需要 为进一步发展的项目套件，家长参与 和学校之间的连续性。 提案打算 制定程序、结构和组织， 使FSEA能够在南部开发另外35个分会 加州，成为一个全国性的课后计划， 扩展到其他国家。

Future Scientists and Engineers of America (FSEA) is a structured after-school program to promote math and science through engineering applications among American youth, grades 4 through 12. FSEA has hands-on projects at increasing levels of complexity which provide student members with practical engineering applications of science and mathematics. Students advance through categories similar to the Scouts based on Satisfactory completion of projects. They enter as a technician and advance to levels of scientist and engineer. Chapters are sponsored by businesses, professional societies and community organizations which provided mentors and funding for FSEA projects. Each Project is conducted by a team consisting of a volunteer teacher and a volunteer mentor. A mentor must have a technical background in a scientific or engineering field. Mentors can be volunteers recruited from industry, retired scientists and engineers or engineering students. In less than a year, mentors and teachers have attended start- up workshops and 24 chapters have been successfully organized. Increasing demand for chapter development, with continuing emphasis on minority and female youth, has created the need for further development of projects kits, parent involvement and continuity among feeder schools. The proposal intends to develop the procedures, structure and organization that would enable FSEA to develop an additional 35 chapters in Southern California and become a national after-school program and expand to other states.
