A Hands-on STEM Enrichment Activity to Promote Engineering to High School StudentsAbstractThis full paper discusses a workshop designed to enrich and explore career options for high school students.It has become a norm for higher education institutions to partner with local schools to provide a diverserange of opportunities for students to explore careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math(STEM). Facilitating conversations early on in high school about college majors, identifying specific areasof interest, setting career goals and roadmaps and building pathways for successful careers have becomecritical for student success. Due to a lack of understanding of engineering applications

Because each project is unique, these papers require more time tograde since each paper must be graded on its own merits and not against a common expectation.Additionally, the instructor may need to spend considerable time during the abstract selectionand approval stage working with students to select a project that is both worthwhile andaccomplishable during the semester. Different students will request different levels of inputduring the project. Some will request considerable help during the conduct of the project phaseof the assignment. These help request vary from seeking reassurance that the student is on-trackwith the assignment to technical direction/assistance in addressing problem.ConclusionsSemester projects
