Another unique aspect of the camp is the involvement of undergraduate student interns.These interns, along-side master teachers, work over the course of ten weeks, to create modulesor activities for camp participants (campers). Approximately half of the modules or activitiesused are taken from a collection of academically tested modules. These modules are learningactivities that cover a wide variety of topics associated with biomedical engineering, includingbut are not limited to the use of stem cells, blood vessel synthesis, gene expression, prosthetics,bone augmentation, and the impact of bone decalcification.

workshop consisted of 5 full days. Three of the days were dedicated to the three fields ofengineering, chemical, electrical and systems engineering. Each engineering day consisted ofthree parts. The first was an introduction to the field including salary expectations, the type ofwork they do and any other pertinent information the presenter finds valuable. The second partincluded a short presentation of some of the fundamental concepts in that field. The last partincluded a hands-on project where the participants got to perform some actual engineering work.The rest of this paper includes the details of the three engineering parts of the workshop.The workshop consisted of the following.

Amongall the alternative energy sources, solar energy has played and will play a pivotal role in meetingthis goal.
