Out-of-school, informal learning can occur at a variety of sites,including everyday experiences; designed sites such as museums, nature preserves, and libraries;and structured programs such as after-school activities and summer camps [2]. This paperdescribes the programming provided at one academic library to a STEM summer camp formiddle schoolers [3] and explores the opportunities and challenges of this kind of programmingin an academic library.STEM

Onthe survey and during the interviews/focus groups, students described engineering as a creativeprofession. A student explained: I didn’t have an opinion on engineers before, not having any in my family, except for electrical engineering. I thought that they mainly had to do with technology and that is what they did. So, I guess, it definitely changed my opinion on engineers. I know

beyond what was funded for development.Our approach is to use web technology as a learning platform. This decsion is motivated byconstraints on faculty time and a student body that appreciates time flexibility. The intent is todevelop "stand-alone" modules where students can access the materials at any time, be tested forpre-requisite materials, have progress monitored, and be examined at the conclusion of themodule. We are striving to have materials that can be used by teaching assistants with littlefaculty oversight. We chose engineering science topics since this is where breadth is needed,and it is a body of material that is relatively stable.

To determine the optimal applicability of virtual reality to engineering education. 3. To develop a knowledge base of techniques for the display of, and interaction with, scientific and technological information and concepts in a virtual world, that can later be

Quite often, the problems that are solved in PBL programs are not authentic. In order to develop more authentic problems that are required to prepare engineering graduates to solve complex, ill-structured workplace problems, we developed a case library of engineering problems as described by practicing engineers.
