Additionally, Prescott has a relatively mild summer climate that is conducive toengaging in outdoor summer activities, unlike most of the rest of the state of Arizona. For thesereasons, the College has a well-established record of hosting a variety of summer experiences forhigh school students2,3.Most outreach programs fall into one of the following categories4: the development of classroommaterial, including Web-based resources; the professional development of teachers; conductingoutreach activities at the local school; conducting or sponsoring engineering contests

In addition, problems that require students to design real solutions in alaboratory environment, as opposed to simply solving problems in theory, helps provide studentswith valuable experiences and knowledge gains. While originally developed by the SloanFoundation in 2002 to apply to all engineering instructional laboratories, the following list ofareas of potential student outcomes are also an excellent guide for educational problem-basedactivities with experiential components [4].

Thus, access to advanced academic research and development laboratories and advancedacademic programs in engineering is critical to success.Because of the need to further develop the high-tech economy, and with support from localindustry and the state government, three doctoral programs were developed over the last tenyears.
