Hannah, Tessa, Brandon, and Nate will be juniors at Yankton High School next year. The purpose of the program is to showcase career opportunities for students with an interest in math and science. The students were involved in many hands-on engineering projects during the weeklong series of learning activities. Projects included: personalizing circuit board displays, soldering electronic circuits, testing memory metals, and learning about manufacturing processes. Students also toured local engineering firms and explored engineering careers during the program. Participants lived in the South Dakota Tech residence halls while attending the program and the week concluded with student presentations highlighting their activities. Many parents and friends attended the closing session. "We want to introduce high school students to some of the important and interesting projects that engineers work on by letting them explore hands-on activities, " Dr. Larry Simonson, program coordinator, said. He is a professor in Tech's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. "Engineers help make the world run. We want to show these students how engineers do that." According to Nate, Brandon, Tessa, and Hannah, "YEA is a great experience and a great camp to learn about different fields and jobs in engineering." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Photo caption: Yankton High School students (from left) Nate Hicks, Hannah Alsgaard, Tessa Bauer, and Brandon Eisenbraun are pictured with some of their hands-on projects which they worked on during YEA 2004 at South Dakota Tech. #30# |
