Assessing The Outcomes Of Two Summer Camps At Nku

This paper compares and contrasts the outcomes of two, one-week-long summer engineering camps conducted with mostly similar components but for two different groups of pre-college students. One group consisted of mostly male students whereas only female students constituted the second group. The outcomes of the camps were assessed to evaluate the accomplishment of the objectives of the engineering camp project which was supported by the Center for Integrative Natural Science and Mathematics (CINSAM) at Northern Kentucky University. The results of the assessments will be used to modify the program in order to maximize its efficiency in terms of the program’s educational contents, its target audiences, and its outreach impacts.
