This camp includedadditional workshops that also provided insight into other engineering disciplines. Data from the2016 summer camp survey revealed that 35 of 36 participants felt the camp was influential inregards to choosing a plan of study for college. These results are especially encouraging comingfrom young women who are faced with pivotal decisions in choosing a career path that hastypically been dominated by males. In addition to the Likert type survey questions, studentswere also given the opportunity to express general comments about their camp experiences.

Students from underprepared backgrounds tend tostruggle especially hard during their first year and often end up dropping their plans to studyengineering quite early on in their college career. These students are especially vulnerable duringtheir first year here since, after having been high achievers in their high schools, they now mightexperience their first class in which they struggle and receive a poor or even failing grade.Students’ confidence often drops after one such event, and it is our goal to supply the academicand emotional support to prevent a first poor grade from derailing a student’s path through ourschool.The Thayer

Engineering Education, 2017 In recent years, much attention has been paid to a general lack of skilled workersand the lack of diversity in the domain of engineering (e.g., Andrews & Clark, 2016;Mukuni, 2015). Numerous studies have indicated the importance of addressing this issuein K-12 education due to increasingly negative attitudes toward science with age,particularly beginning at the middle school level (Baram-Tsabari, Sethi, Bry, & Yarden,2006; Sadler, Sonnert, Hazari, & Tai, 2012). Young adolescents in the middle gradesoften begin to develop their subject area affinities (Kessels, 2011) and embark onprograms of study that ultimately determine their career pathways (Hannover & Kessels,2002).
