design processskills are not unlike decision making skills employed in real-life. However, describingengineering to pre-college students in these foreign terms may be intimidating2 which mayinhibit students from pursuing engineering in college. Therefore, there is a need to advertiseengineering for what it is: implemented problem solving.Engineers are natural problem solvers and seek challenge. Allowing novice engineers (pre-college students) to practice and develop their problem solving skills through design allows themto connect concept with implementation and verification thereby enhancing understanding andinterest while reducing apprehension to “engineering”. As students achieve success in smalldesign projects, their confidence is increased3

The seminar coursework iscentered on semester-long investigative projects designed and completed by teams, typicallymultidisciplinary ones. A small group of faculty oversees the seminar and selection of scholars.Our approach in this program is to provide faculty mentoring for the scholars while alsodeveloping stepping-stone peer-mentoring for professional development. This structure supportsstudents and helps them develop leadership qualities.

energy measurements and equipment efficiency. The Annual Energy Outlook 2004 (AEO2004) with projections to 2025 [2,3] presents acritical review of energy use of USA in the residential, commercial, industrial, transportationsectors for the period 1970 - 2025. The graphs from AEO2004 forecast an increase in energyconsumption in most sectors, and that primary energy use will exceed 136 quadrillion Btu peryear by 2025, 40 percent higher than the 2002 level. However, the forecast indicates that theincrease can stabilize as more efficient energy generation and consumption technologies offsetthe demand for more energy. Arkansas’s per capita energy use is similar to other states, with itsenergy use and savings dependent on the population and
