The Junior Engineering, Mathematics, and Science (JEMS) program is a project-based summer workshop in which teams of high school students complete a design project on a topic such as robotics, rockets, or alternative fuel vehicles. The summer workshop includes courses that integrate learning about science, mathematics, engineering, technology, leadership, and teamwork within the context of the design project. Students also participate in engineering laboratory tours in order to expose them to a variety of engineering disciplines and possible careers. In this article we describe the program structure and findings from ten years of student questionnaires.  \nKey Words: Pre-engineering education, design project, teamwork and leadership.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nSince the publication of “A Nation at Risk” [1], schools have reinforced the curriculum to include more science and mathematics. In response to the rapidly growing imbalance between supply and demand of technically skilled workers [2], colleges are attempting to attract more and more of  \nSUMMER 2012 1  \nADVANCES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION  \nA Project-Based Engineering and Leadership Workshop for High School Students  \nthe brightest students to STEM fields in order to meet the demands of American industry. As the generation educated in the 1960s and 1970s prepares to retire, our colleges and universities are not graduating enough scientific and technical talent to replace them [2] . In 1980 the United States held 73 million tertiary degrees or about one third of the world’s degrees broadly equivalent to a U. S. baccalaureate. By 2000, the U. S. held 194 million tertiary degrees, but this translates to only a one-quarter share of the world’s tertiary degrees [3] .  \nToday’s engineering employers are not only requiring technical skills, but also highly value teamwork capabilities in new hires. A study conducted by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) found that mastery of teamwork and communication skills were the top desirable attributes of graduating engineering students [4] . Similar professional skills are outlined in the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology Engineering Criteria 2000 [5]. These include the ability to function on multidisciplinary teams, an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility, and the ability to communicate effectively [6] . In Martin’s [7] study based on self-efficacy of currently employed chemical engineers,“half of the participants described teamwork as a major part of their jobs, with time spent in teamwork ranging from 60 to 80% of the working day.” According to Adams [8],“When utilized effectively teamwork has been shown to lead to an increase in productivity, a reduction in costs, a rise in employee involvement, and a flattening of the organizational structure.”Employers report that most engineering graduates, although astute and well prepared technically, lack the ability to function effectively in teams [9] .  \nThe National Science Board (NSB) sponsored workshops in the fall of 2005 and 2006 focusing on improving engineering education. One of the key challenges identified was retention of engineering students in college programs. The board recommended that the NSF should consider supporting programs that inform pre-college students about engineering [10] .
