experience each of the four activity stations. Each station was a50-minute session, during which students had the opportunity to broaden their knowledge inengineering through practical applications of Industrial Engineering concepts, specifically inOperations Research and Human Factors Engineering. This learner-centric format ensured adynamic educational experience and kept the participants thoroughly engaged and excited aboutthe camp. Students were also able to freely interact with graduate students, faculty, and staffcoordinating the camp to ask questions and learn more about potential career paths inengineering.A.

perceptions are what will eventuallyinform a student’s decision on where to enroll, making sure that the students have as muchinformation as possible is paramount so that they can make an informed decision of theenvironment that will best suit them. Whether students were able to set foot on campus prior toenrolling or not and the accompanying pre-college experiences inform the degree to whichstudents feel like they belong on campus, setting the starting point for their collegiate career. Thepurpose of this qualitative investigation is to compare the anticipatory socialization experiencesof eight students and understand how the experiences differed between those who were able tomake it to campus prior to enrolling and those who were not, to better

This waiting listserved us in the event another camper needed to pull out due to after registration conflicts.Organization and Camp Leadership This camp was developed with the coordinated help of Penn State AE graduate students, faculty,and staff, and was organized by the department’s outreach specialist, whose purpose was to increase K-12interest and understanding of AE. For our experience, the outreach specialist acted as the camp’s director,organizing all aspects of the project and was the point person for communication to families, training forcamp employees, and following all university regulations when working with youth.

the camp’s agendato give students the information directly so that they feel empowered to speak with their teachersand guidance counselors themselves about course choices. Each day, camp attendees learned a few engineering fundamentals through an engagingpresentation by the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) faculty and students, then sawthese concepts come to life through guided hands-on activities. In collaboration with the UTAustin Youth Engagement Center, we were able to increase the participation of students whoidentify with groups that have been historically excluded from engineering. Two camps were run(one in Houston and one in Austin) in collaboration with Project Explore in Houston independentschool district (ISD), and

, led, and managed a number of multimillion dollar federal grants for STEM teacher professional development for Baltimore County Public Schools and NAPE, with resulting publications and professional learning. She began her career as a faculty member at the Community College of Baltimore County working with smart, capable, hardworking, and appreciative minority students who had somehow fallen through the educational cracks. That was her first glimpse into the failure of the education system from teacher training to student learning. Morrell’s quest has always been to answer the question, how do we as a country improve student outcomes in STEM for all students? How do we finally recognize and close gaps in performance
