asystematic review of literature on the impact(s) of involving undergraduates in engineeringoutreach with a particular focus on studies that report on the impact on the undergraduatestudents. Supporting this effort is the NSF EArly-concept Grant for Exploratory Research(EAGER) program.Introduction In response to the need to increase interest and persistence in STEM careers, manyuniversities have created organized outreach initiatives. Engineering outreach by undergraduatestudents takes different forms but can include leading summer camps, teaching afterschoolprograms, conducting classroom presentations, and hosting engineering fairs and competitionson colleges campuses. The focus of evaluation efforts for K-12 outreach programs is typically
development, research has demonstrated a strong correlation betweenexperience and learning in the arts and STEM academic proficiency, as well asinnovation.4 In particular, from a study performed at Michigan State University, 93% ofthe graduates of their STEM honors college had had musical training at some point intheir lives, as compared to 34% of the general American population. 4Educational Objectives for Fifth Grade StudentsThe engineering and science topics addressed by this work, as well as the logistics of theWAVES program, grew from approximately six months of regular discussion with thefifth grade teachers at three local schools. In particular, the teachers wanted to have thestudents gain more exposure in a meaningful and engaging way to
school classrooms, and also on advancing the use of knowledge building pedagogy in higher education.

By usinga 3+1 structure, the expensive proposition of study in America becomes greatly reduced becausethe majority of study is completed in China. The students benefit by having both a solid degreefrom a well-respected Chinese university and an ABET-accredited degree from an Americanuniversity. This promises graduates a much better competitive position in the Chinese domesticjob market and also opens greater opportunities for them in the international job market.Furthermore, it offers improved prospects for pursuing advanced degrees in the U.S.For
