Additional program details can be foundelsewhere 31.  Objective 1 activities: Teachers are paired and then matched with an engineering faculty mentor. The mentor assists the teachers in understanding the current status of emerging technologies and engineering research, and provides informal instruction in research methodology and science theory appropriate to the teacher’s research experience.  Objective 2 activities: During the four-week summer program, each teacher prepares hands-on engineering-related instructional materials to integrate into their classroom curriculum.

Severalprograms have been developed to encourage girls to persevere in their interests in STEM fields.In the summer of 1999, SCU hosted a National Science Foundation workshop[1] gatheringdirectors of such programs to share their experience and insights.
