Students in the Summer Engineering Academy worked in teams with faculty inlaboratories to answer age-appropriate research questions related to Qatar’s grand challenges forengineering. Students participating in Future Engineers worked in teams to assemble 3D printerkits and, in parallel, to design objects to print with that technology. In both programs, studentsenjoyed close mentorship from faculty, laboratory instructors and undergraduate engineeringstudents. Communication skills were woven throughout the projects as a STEAM element —students were asked to present, discuss and defend their work and research findings. Overall

However, a stronger focus on relationships and building connections with otherswas observed for ASMT students.
