Seminar for Top Engineering Prospects (STEP) at Purdue College of Engineering
Posted on September 15th, 2009 by als
The Seminar for Top Engineering Prospects (STEP) provides you the opportunity to explore various engineering disciplines and job functions. Tours, demonstrations, classroom experiences, and projects are all designed to help students learn about engineering and gain a first-hand sense of what college life is all about. In addition, because the computer is a fundamental tool used by today’s engineer, you will tackle some challenging engineering problems using software packages such as Microsoft Excel.

In 1999 the K-12 Outreach group was formed in the Office of Academic Affairs. Since then, the staff has impacted an average of 5000 students in North Carolina annually, in addition to 500 teachers. They have also participated in local, state and national collaborations to advance science, technology, engineering and math instruction in K-12 schools.
Students at this week-long, co-ed, residential camp will explore things such as:
STEPS is a one-week introduction to the world of technology and engineering. Campers participate in hands-on activities that give them an understanding of what engineers do. Students will also explore science and engineering topics such as materials, clean manufacturing, CAD and team building.
This camp provides a hands-on computer science and engineering experience in a fun camp format.
