An Introduction to Engineering for Early High School Students

塔尔萨大学将启动为期四周的为35名进入9年级、10年级的学生提供的工程技术住宿青年学者项目。该项目的主要组成部分是暑期课程，在该课程中，学者们与系里的教职员工进行互动。本科生和当地产业界的代表。实践活动将包括工程实验室实验、计算机工作坊和设计项目。本学年将包括旨在加强学生工程经验的后续活动。四次后续会议中的每一次都将聚焦于工程学中的一个特定问题，并将包括由工业导师和教职员工举办的动手研讨会。该项目的一个主要目标是提高美国原住民、少数民族和女性学生对工程作为职业潜力的认识。优先录取具有较高工程潜力，但对工程或科学的接触有限的学生。

The University of Tulsa will initiate a four-week, residential Young Scholars project in Engineering Technology for 35 students entering grades 9,10. The primary component of the program is the summer session in which the scholars interact with departmental faculty, undergraduate students, and representatives from local industry. The hands-on activities will include engineering laboratory experiments, computer workshops, and a design project. The academic year will include follow-up activities designed to reinforce the students' experiences in engineering. Each of the four follow-up sessions will focus on a specific issue in engineering and will include hands-on workshops conducted by industrial mentors and faculty. A major goal of the program is to increase awareness of engineering as a career potential for Native American, minority, and women students. A high priority is given to students with high potential for engineering but with limited prior exposure to engineering or science.
