Summer Camp focused on accelerating students to prepare them for college mathand to increase their interest in Information Engineering Technology and MechanicalEngineering and other STEM disciplines. The program has been very successful, as measuredby the progress made by the students in their math skills. The student body is 85% Hispanic. Thefirst two summer camps targeted high-school students, while the last summer focused on collegefreshmen students with low-level math skills. This paper describes the strategies used, therecruitment tools used, and the results obtained for three years of Summer Camps. One of themain results shows that an average participant student has improved their math skills theequivalent of one semester or even one year

While it islikely that at least some of the students completed both the pre- and post-test surveys, theirresponses could not be matched due to the anonymous nature of the surveys.

It was observed that students completing the heat transfer course could seldom do this.The goals of the Thermal Design course state: "You should gain confidence in your ability to tackle an open-ended design problem in the heat transfer/fluid flow area and expect to solve it. You will also have an opportunity to take a heat exchanger through the product design cycle."In order to meet these goals, a project is used to provide a focus for the course content.

In fact,autistic people who enter higher education are drawn to majors in STEM fields at higher ratesthan the general population [4]. To prepare autistic youth for careers, they can benefit fromexperiences that help them translate their interests into real-world applications through engagingin practices such as the EDP [9] and experiences that help them interact productively with peers[10].

For example, finite element analysis is used to identify how best to support and excitea structure to produce a particular vibration, and modal test results are used to establish “modalassurance criteria” on finite element simulations. This paper presents two laboratory exerciscs that demonstrate the importance of couplingcomputer simulations with experiments for mutual validation.
