timecommitment incumbent on all participating faculty. The administration/college/departmentmust be willing to provide lab supplies, faculty summer salary, graduate student assistantsalaries, and extensive clerical and planning support. Decisions on whether to implementsuch a program must obviously be made on a case-by-case basis. With essentials in placehowever, a bioengineering camp could be offered yearly and become a fixture on the 9-12academic scene. We suggest that similar programs could easily be implemented in any of theother engineering disciplines.VI. ReferencesMalgorzata S. Zywno, Member, IEEE, Kimberley A. Gilbride, Peter D.

applications. They alsomake the historically boring classes much more interesting. They may even inspire someinterested students get into these research areas. Up to now, the preliminary outcome includesvery positive feedback.The extension of this experience to an undergraduate-level course, MA4533/6533 Probabilityand Random Processes, is also discussed. Basically, a project in ECE8803 will be cut intoseveral small projects for MA4533/6533. Considering the background level of ourundergraduates, more explanation work needs to be done before project assignments. This alsorequires a smooth collaboration between faculty members in the ECE and MATH departments.References1. A. Papoulis and S. U. Pillai, Probability, Random Variables and Stochastic Processes

It examinesthe appropriateness of plan development and scoping, and finds that the assignment resulted inproperly scoped and achievable plans. These results will be of interest to educators teachingdesign and project planning to first-year students, and to those interested in developingself-selected creative projects. They may also be of interest to managers of maker spacesdedicated to those students by indicating popular material and tool choices in self-selectedprojects.References[1] M. Z. Lagoudas, J. E.
