Typically, there might be some mathematical work involved but this is notalways the case. At the second meeting of the class, students are given laboratory work, led by ateaching assistant, which most times include the creation of physical circuits or the simulation ofthe circuit in order to test for expected values. These measured values are then used to provevalues that were previous calculated outside of the class. The basic requirement is that studentscomplete all class activities in the time allotted as well the completion of all assigned laboratory

Therefore,before peer pressure and popular culture lures them away from self-efficacy in math and science,outreach to females outside of the traditional classroom is crucial. For this research project,thirteen middle school students were invited to attend a summer camp hosted in theenvironmental engineering laboratory at North Carolina Agricultural & Technical StateUniversity. Three environmental and public health “cases” or stories were developed to increasethe student interest in science and environmental engineering.

Ibarra and Petriglieri characterize this kind of activity as identity play, acharacterization we share. They define identity play as “people’s engagement in provisional butactive trial of possible future selves”[6]. We have identified a number of course experiences aspotential sites for this identity play. These include: • the lab courses where students put on lab coats and safety goggles as they become familiar with standard laboratory equipment and protocols and the technical knowledge of chemistry; • a communication course where students visit schools as the subject matter expert to

Through early exposure to a broad set of knowledge and simulation/laboratory techniques, students can begin to develop intellectual curiosity and intuition about how electrical and computer systems work and, in the process, see the fun and excitement in electrical and computer engineering. This paper delves into the development of the course, from the determination of the goals through the implementation of the course structure and teaching philosophy.
