Summer Enrichment Program Aims to Increase Interest and Diversity in STEM Fields Brittany Anderson, Rafic Bachnak Penn State HarrisburgAbstract:The need for educated workers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)fields is ever growing. Research shows that since 1990 employment in STEM fields has grown79% while overall employment has only grown 34%. Additionally, as of 2016, 13% ofemployed adults (ages 25+) in the United States are in STEM occupations. However, there hasnot been equal growth in all STEM disciplines and minorities are still underrepresented. For thepast three summers, we have been offering a two-week STEM-summer

Through utilizing motioncapture, kinesiology students were able to review real-time footage of juggling with the use ofretroreflective markers. Motion capture technology is heavily utilized in many different fields, such as sportsperformance, entertainment and computer-generated imagery, and even the security industry [1].Many educators have used motion capture to help teach engineering [8], biomechanics [4], andbiomedical engineering [2]. Through motion capture, students are able to watch real-time footageof experiments conducted in the lab. We arranged to have kinesiology students

The paper will look at some reasons why students might not take advantage of studyabroad programs and what can be done to change the attitudes of faculty and students on thevalue of studying abroad to increase the preparedness of students for a career in the 21st Century.

Likewise, it has the potential to evokecreativity of the general population to design and create personalized products. To that end, oneof the key enablers of this paradigm is the recruitment and training of a new class ofmanufacturing workforce that can (1) combine engineering product design capabilities withinformation technology tools to convert ideas into components and (2) transform a wide range ofprecursor materials into products to meet advanced functional requirements by using cyber-enabled machine tools.

Ideally, students participating in theseprograms work together in teams to apply the STEM knowledge gained from their programexperiences; these intentional communication and collaboration experiences are also likely toenhance students’ teamwork skills.
