For instance,when employers across industries were asked the level of preparedness for creative andinnovative thinking in recent hires, 25% of employers believed students lacked preparation inthese areas [10]. Indeed, employers continue to demand more creative thinking in recentgraduates, particularly engineering graduates, than they are currently demonstrating [11-13].This is particularly startling given that the continuous growth rate of engineering careers, asdetermined by a study from the U.S. Bureau of Labor

For example, if theinstructional topic is perceived by the student as relevant and valuable in attaining a sought aftergoal, the student will be motivated to perform [13, 31]. It’s common in career and technicalprograms that too many students fail to see the relevancy in their fundamental math courses [18,40].

Enrollment data showed that 5 out of the 16 participants are from out of state(31%). The goals of the camp are: (1) to stimulate the students’ interest in the area ofnanotechnology, (2) to educate students (and parents) about the opportunities for industrial andresearch careers in this field, and (3) to attract students to the minor in nanotechnology whichwas recently launched at Lawrence Tech.
