Exploring Student Perceptions of Teamwork in a Summer Outreach ProgramAbstractIncreasing numbers of summer outreach programs aim to engage students in science, technology,engineering and mathematics (STEM). A common approach to these programs is project-basedlearning (PBL), which often involves working in teams. Ideally, students participating in theseprograms work together in teams to apply the STEM knowledge gained from their programexperiences; these intentional communication and collaboration experiences are also likely toenhance students’ teamwork skills. However, team experiences are not always positive, andsome team members may not feel welcome to contribute. Team experiences can negatively affectstudents’ sense

2012, the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology reported thatone million more science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) professionals would needto be introduced into the workforce to keep up with economic demands [1]. The council alsorecommended a variety of tools to recruit students to STEM programs, including the use ofsummer camps, research courses, and pathways from two to four-year institutions [1]. Thoughthe time has expired for this call to action, the importance of having educated STEMprofessionals and engagement of students in STEM is imperative. Engineering camps, a method of recruitment supported by PCAST, have been activesince the middle of the 20th century [2]. These camps often feature hands-on

both Mathematics instruction as well as Physics instruction during summer bridge instead of last, which is when it was taught previously. This way, students had foundational skills to learn physics concepts and apply trigonometry concepts in the process of solving physics problems. New - Engineering Humanities A mechanical engineering professor, who serves as the faculty advisor for the Engineering GoldShirt Program, taught a Humanities in Engineering class during summer bridge to encourage students to be mindful of the humanitarian impact on engineering designs and projects. Case studies included the burning tower in London and the ethical decisions made by engineers who designed the tower

touchpointsDetails about the program design can be found in earlier publications, so we’ll just summarizebriefly here. First, the program aims to build self-efficacy by challenging and supportingparticipants to succeed with multiple, hands-on engineering design experiences. We alsoprovide a wide spectrum of female role models and peer support. We surround the girls withfemale staff who are engaged in STEM fields, including HS students, undergrad & grad students,and faculty. The program shows how engineering provides a range of opportunities to fulfillhumanistic and people-oriented values and goals. This is done through selection of workshoptopics but especially through a real-world service learning project where teams of 10 girls usethe engineering
