CWIT and UMBC
have partnered with Baltimore and Anne Arundel County Public
Schools, the Maryland State Department of Education, businesses
representing the engineering community, the Museum of Industry,
the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and teachers from
area middle and high schools to increase student enrollment
and student diversity in college engineering programs throughout
the state. Curriculums will be developed so that high school
algebra classes can include different aspects of chemical, electrical,
civil and mechanical engineering. A workshop is provided for
math teachers and undergraduate engineering Teaching Fellows
to introduce engineering career opportunities. An undergraduate
engineering Teaching Fellows program will target women and other
underrepresented minorities to provide hands-on instructional
classroom support for middle and high school algebra teachers.
An after-school engineering program will maintain student interest
in engineering, and female and minority engineering role models
and curricula will encourage interest and participation by all
groups.
