AB  -     Multi-day earthquake engineering workshop for middle school studentsA rigorous, two and a half day, curriculum developed for an earthquake engineering summerworkshop is presented and its effectiveness is discussed with general observations from thefaculty organizers, student mentors, students, and parents. Two workshops were organized in theSummer of 2010, enrolling 15 students, ages 11 to 15, in each workshop. The workshoppresented basic topics in earthquake engineering and incorporated a relatively advancedanalytical component linked to a series of shake-table experiments. The experimentsdemonstrated the influence of mass and stiffness on structural response while the analyticalcomponent introduced physics-based relationships engineers use to analyze seismic behavior.Overall, comments from the students and parents substantiate the effectiveness of an extendededucational experience which will inform future activities on an NSF-funded project. Engagingstudents in a mix of enjoyable and rigorous engineering activities over the duration of severaldays is a novel approach not commonly used in the field of earthquake engineering, but shouldbe disseminated and encouraged to increase excitement and promote diversity of the engineeringworkforce.
