College of Engineering Center for Underrepresented Engineering Students: Young Scholars Program -- EARLY ALERT

加州大学伯克利分校将启动一项为期六周的通勤早期预警计划，面向120名进入7年级、8年级和9年级的学生学习物理和数学。今年暑假和学年计划将强调数学、物理和工程概念的学习，向参与者展示学术课程工作如何与他们周围的世界相关，以及科学实践是如何完成的。向学生们展示了一些不同寻常的主题，比如探索太空中的外星生命形式。这导致了对来自深空的无线电信号、银河噪声、编码系统和结构材料的研究。学生学习里氏震级发展的数学知识以及如何测量地震烈度。

The University of California at Berkeley will initiate a six-week, commuter, Early Alert Initiative in physics and mathematics for 120 students entering the 7th, 8th, and 9th grades. This summer and academic year program will emphasize the study of mathematics, physics, and engineering concepts in ways that will demonstrate to the participants how academic course work relates to the world around them and how the practice of science is accomplished. Students are presented with unusual themes such as exploring space for extraterrestrial life forms. This leads to the study of radio signals from deep space, galactic noise, coding systems, and structural materials. Students learn the mathematics of the development of the Richter Scale and how earthquake intensity is measured.
