;afk12@psu.eduCurriculum summary: High school students are often overwhelmed by the proliferation of specialties available to themin the realm of engineering. It is often the approach of the instructor to lecture to the studentsdirectly, rather than allowing them to explore the areas for themselves. To meet this need, anactivity was developed to expose students to the various disciplines of engineering in aninnovative and engaging way. Students in a high school level introduction to engineering classwere given giant whiteboards headed with the various disciplines and allowed a short interval inwhich to write words or phrases with which they associated the discipline. Following theactivity, the words were collected to form word clouds, which were
