Summer Programs
- BRIDGE program. The College of Sciences and the College of Engineering and Architecture sponsor this annual five-day orientation workshop for incoming under-represented students in engineering, math, and science.
- Hispanic Youth Exploring Engineering (HY'EE) Camp. An annual four-day summer camp for students and their teachers from high schools in the Yakima Valley and Walla Walla areas.
- Native Youth Exploring Engineering (NY'EE) Camp. Students and their teachers from high schools in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington participate in hands-on engineering and math projects, attend chemistry and physics demonstrations, and participate in various social activities.
Other Recruitment and Retention Efforts
- Access Science: Making Science accessible for Latino Parents and Children in Rural Communities. A partnership between Pacific Science Center, Yakima Valley/Tri-Cities MESA (Math, Engineering, Science Achievement), WSU Tri-Cities, and public radio station KDNA, this program brings Informal Science education to the Latino communities of the Yakima Valley/Tri-Cities area of Washington state.
- Culturally-Relevant Engineering Applications in Mathematics (CREAM). This NSF-funded project uses culturally-relevant engineering applications in mathematics to energize graduate students, K-12 teachers and students, and university faculty to reform mathematics education and heighten engineering career aspirations.
- Future Scientists and Engineers program. The College of Sciences and College of Engineering and Architecture sponsor this annual two-day program for high school sophomores and juniors from the Chelan, Moses Lake, Tri-Cities, and Yakima Valley areas. Students have the opportunity to watch science and engineering demonstrations, perform hands-on experiments, and tour various facilities like the Bear Center, Jewett Observatory, Raptor Club, and WSU Planetarium.
- Gannon-Goldsworthy Residence Hall program. In this program, freshmen engineering, math, and science students are encouraged to reside in Gannon-Goldsworthy Residence Hall in what has become a successful living-learning community. Sharing a common academic purpose, students are enrolled in common introductory engineering classes, including chemistry, engineering, and math. Free, tutor-assisted study halls in science and math are offered Sunday through Thursday evenings in the residence hall.
- Native American Science/Engineering Program. For information about this program, please contact Dr. Bernie VanWie.
- Northwest Engineering Talent Expansion Partnership (NW-ETEP). This state-wide program aims to increase women and minorities obtaining engineering degrees. NW-ETEP - East poster (pdf file).
- Summer at WSU Engineering Experiences for Teachers (SWEET). This annual NSF-funded program introduces engineering to middle school and high school teachers.
