1. 1) DO YOU RUN A SUMMER PROGRAM AT YOUR INSTITUTION? a) Yes b) No c) Thinking about it 2) WHAT IS THE GOAL OF YOUR SUMMER PROGRAM? Welcome to the webinar. While we are waiting to start could you please answer the following questions?

2. OUR COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCE RUNNING ENGINEERING SUMMER CAMPS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH PRESENTERS; CYNTHIA FURSE, KAREN KRAPCHO AND DEIDRE SCHOENFELD Summer Camps

3. Goal of Our Camps Common Goals Recruitment to University of Utah Engineering Program Provide a fun and experiential introduction to 8 engineering disciplines offered by the College of Engineering Identify area of engineering of highest interest Public Outreach Community Awareness Not a bridge experience (not designed to increase academic preparedness)

4. College of Engineering Enrollment during NSF STEP Grant #0652982

5. Exploring Engineering Hi-GEAR 40-60 participants Target population is all high school students 3 day camp 20-24 participants Target population is high school girls 5 day camp (has been day and residential camp) Engineering scholarships awarded Overview of Camps

6. Explore Engineering Hi-GEAR Include camp information in Youth Education Summer Program guide which is mailed to parents Get information to parents Use Existing Channels  Email to participants from other outreach activities  COE website Poster sent to every high school in the metropolitan area. Flier emailed to every high school teacher on our contact list Email “Invite” to female participants from all previous outreach activities Email invitation sent out through College’s National Advisory Board and Industry Advisory Board Flyer sent to program advisors for engineering clubs targeting underrepresented students Flier emailed to all industry partnerships Flier emailed to all faculty and female students in the College.

7. Timeline for Camp preparation Set Dates and Theme for Summer Camp Reserve central location Prepare ads, assemble student team to prepare and organize camp. Launch advertizing campaign Faculty/ Student teams meet to work on activities Food is ordered, Supplies purchased. Meet with counselors to confirm final plans and locations of activities. Contact guest speakers, arrange on- campus tours. Booklets are assembled, camp information is emailed to parents {special needs, directions, release form and pre-survey} FallLate winter/early springMay/June

11. Themes and Activities Engineering a Greener Planet BioInnovation Lights, Camera, Engineering General Agenda Exploring Engineering  First two days: campers rotate through their choice of 4 or 6 different 1 ½ h engineering activities  Catered lunch accompanied by speaker or tours  Final day: culminating STEM activity that integrates multiple disciplines and is led by the lead engineering team.  College 101 and Parent info session

12. Schematic for Challenge Activity: Cleaning and distributing a polluted water source

14. General Hi-GEAR Agenda  5 days to introduce 8 areas of engineering  Areas of engineering are covered by one or more of the following: company tour, hands on activity, presentation, lab tour or demonstration.  One “Professional Women in Engineering” Panel Session  One “College 101” Session  Catered lunches with female faculty, students and engineering professionals  Awards ceremony open to parents

15. Sample: Professor Led Activity Agenda HAPTICS 9:30 – Overview of Day, Intro to Mechanical Engineering and Robotics 10:00 – Overview of Haptic, Haptics Demo 11:15 – Discuss Demos and common elements of how they work, introduce the physics behind a spring and relevance to haptics 11:30 – Solidworks Activity– design a spring – tuning fork 12:30 – Lunch 1:30 – Tour water jet cutter while running tuning fork parts 1:45 – How Physical haptic systems work presentation 2:15 Haptics programming activity (interact with a virtual wall and virtual textures) 3:00 Discuss Physical vs Virtual systems 3:30 Verification of spring design project and equivalent virtual device (measure frequencies, compare against the virtual equivalent with haptic device) 4:15 Wrap-Up
