Embry-Riddle is a small,technically-oriented private university in central Arizona, and is interested in both raising the profile ofSTEM-related degree programs and, of course, offering attractive summer programs at our campus thathelp recruit new students.

disciplines.They organized summer camps for high school students who have some level of interest inmathematics and science. The camp activities involved basic applied experiments related todifferent engineering disciplines. The students also learned about existing financial aidopportunities and the various academic programs offered by Texas A&M-Kingsville in the areasof engineering, technology, and science. The survey conducted by the University showed that thecamps “increased students’ satisfaction, and improved their self-confidence and their interesttoward engineering disciplines.” The camp was deemed to be an effective and sustainablerecruitment and informative tool.3 Proceedings of the 2011 ASEE Northeast Section Annual

The IEP has ademanding curriculum, and the annual study tour is one of its most effective tools to retain thesestudents who go the extra mile. It serves several purposes: firstly, it introduces students toGermany as an attractive site for science, technology and culture. Highlights of the study tour arevisits to German companies as a means of preparing students for their internships in the 4th year.At companies such as Bayer, BMW, Conti, Hilti, Lufthansa Technik, Siemens, or ZF

It enriched education, utilized higher order thinking processes,incorporated technology and investigation, and created an environment where students worktogether to explore complex science concepts in a fun and exciting way. The teachers benefitedby having a true expert in the classroom that implemented engineering modules and exposed thestudents to experiences they would not otherwise receive.
