Work in Progress - PEER College Summer Camp

The Partnership for Engineering Education in the Rockies (PEER) is comprised of local educational and industrial institutions committed to improving the engineering education paths available to students at all levels. Programs start with introductory engineering courses in the 8th grade and scaffold through the high school level. The PEER college summer camp expands on these course offerings to further enhance students´ learning experience in a college setting. The camp also brings together secondary students and educators for an opportunity to extend the reach of the PEER program to new students and schools. This paper provides an overview of PEER, and describes the specific goals and format for the PEER summer camp
