AB  - The adoption of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) by many U.S. states involves the inclusion of engineering practice in science instruction to better equip and prepare students with sufficient engineering literacy prior to college.  It is therefore crucial for teachers and counselors to have available engineering programs to refine curricula to meet the standards as well as to provide them with general engineering knowledge. Existing programs involve engineering contests, classroom materials, web-based material, and university campus activities. These programs help precollege students learn about engineering and understand technological advancements necessary for solving authentic real-world challenges. They help shape students’ minds about what engineering is and how science can be applied to help students formulate more informed decisions about their future careers. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Stony Brook University has a long history in collaborating with schools and teachers in designing curricula that meets the intent of NGSS. Faculty members of the department designed a one-week, 30-hour engineering camp aligned with the middle school science curricula to test the efficacy of such programs in developing middle school students’ engineering interest and knowledge. Four different projects were designed: 3D-printed spirograph, night light, optical intrusion detection with memory, and traffic light. Students of the camp (N=55) built and optimized their own take-home electronic gadgets. Pre- and post-surveys were collected to analyze the students’ engineering self-efficacy, knowledge, and skills. Comparison of means results suggest that students’ self-efficacy and beliefs in succeeding in engineering majors and careers had increased after their experiences in the camp; they also improved their engineering knowledge and skills (p
