Abstract

This paper reports on the latest efforts of the Center for Science and Mathematics Education and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Stony Brook University to provide high school students with an early exposure to engineering activities. Several programs, events and activities have been offered over the last few years and here we discuss the Engineering Summer Camp. This two-week residential camp for high school students in their sophomore or junior years exposes them to hands-on electrical and computer engineering research and educational activities. Students participate in exercises that range from fabricating a fiber voice link to developing an embedded processing system for measuring temperature. The purpose of this effort is to attract, inspire and educate engineers of the future.
