component of these initiatives is no doubt closing the gap between high schoolsand higher education institutions, and making higher education institutions more approachable.This study will provide an overview of the proposed program that is currently being developed,and discuss components of the curriculum and laboratory development. It is important to notethat this particular program is designed within the frame work of 7th-12th grade secondary scienceeducation in New York State.Introduction:High school students often have hesitations when it comes to decisions regarding collegeapplications and major selection. These hesitations are usually tied to misconceptions such ascollege not being affordable1 or the level of math and science skills needed

. Based on the source of funding, there are four major types of interdisciplinary designprojects. First, there are university-sponsored projects that require additional fundraisingactivities from the students. These projects are typically student competitions that areestablished by engineering professional societies. Examples from recent years are Mini-BahaCar and Super-Mileage Vehicle Competitions (SAE), Micromouse Competition (IEEE), andMine Madness (ASME). The second type of project includes those sponsored by individualfaculty. These projects often involve design and fabrication of devices for use in research orteaching activities.
