Year: 2020

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The Summer Experience in Science and Engineering for Youth (SESEY) program was initiated in the summer of 1997 with the goal of promoting ethnic and economic diversity in the science and engineering fields through the recruitment of underrepresented minority high school students.Offered as a collaboration between Chemical Engineering and Biological Engineering at Oregon State University, the program has two primary focus groups: 1) traditionally underrepresented students (ethnic minorities and women) who have completed their freshman, sophomore or junior years in high school, and who have an interest in math and science, and 2) science, math, and physics teachers at High Schools which have a substantial population of the student focus groups.
