increasing interest in corrosion engineering, or engineering in general. Once the curriculumhas been implemented in more classrooms, detailed information can be obtained regardingstudent interest and likelihood of students to further study corrosion engineering at the collegelevel. It is our hope that widespread implementation of the CEC will help fix the “rusty”pipeline associate with corrosion education.ReferencesAndrews, E., Bufford, A., Banks, D., Curry, A., & Curry, M.

Thisactivity concludes with students participating in a group activity, where each student is asked touse their individual iPads to generate a sine wave with a frequency of a harmonic they areassigned (i.e., Student A generates a 100 Hz tone, Student B generates a 200 Hz tone, etc.) in anattempt to prove that their individual contributions contribute to the resulting more complex tonegenerated from all of their iPads.Speaker BuildingSpeaker Building is an introductory activity that tasks students with building their own speakerusing household materials.

Topics included geometry, mathematics tricks and shortcuts, division, exponents, square roots and logic. Entrepreneurship: Participants were introduced to entrepreneurial ventures through topics like marketing, financing, business models and visits from local technology entrepreneurs. Final Project: In the fourth week, participant teams were asked to develop an entrepreneurial venture. The teams brainstormed and refined a concept that integrated an app, a 3D model, business plan and a website or social media page.
