We report on the development and performance of the camp in this paper with the goalof providing sufficient information and motivation for others to follow, since it will indeed “takea (professional and institutional) village” to combat the well-known shortfall expected in thescience, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professions as the two trends ofbaby-boomers retiring

Ted Kennedy, a founder of BE&K, amajor engineering, construction corporation, emphasized the importance of these same problemsolving skills during his keynote address to the Engineering Council of Birmingham in 2007. Hestressed the importance of learning mathematics in an engineering context rather than inisolation, stating that applying mathematics to solve complex engineering problems is anessential, and often missing, skill for young engineers. These same expectations are reflected inthe engineering accreditation process which seeks to place engineering problem-solving anddesign earlier in curricula. Consequently, students must apply their mathematics and basicscience skills sooner within the

In the industry,computer engineers are asked to understand these technologies. To tackle this task, companiesdeveloping large scale and embedded systems rely on tracing tools to get precise performancemonitoring and behavior analysis information.This paper first discusses the industry need for computer engineers with a good understandingof computer systems.

Building Bridges to theFuture provided the opportunity for 95 students to be further exposed to science andmathematics in the context of an engineering design program. While the authors believe that theprogram can be improved, the feedback from students shows that the Building Bridges to theFuture had significant impact both on performance and student opinion about science,technology, engineering and mathematics.Bibliography1.
