YESS Program - Educators & Students

The 2005 Young Engineers and Scientists Seminar (YESS) program for high school students, funded by a grant from Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems, was a project-based program to help students understand the engineering method - the way engineers perform their jobs. In seven evening sessions from September through December, students learned how to apply engineering principles to the design, build, and test a mechanical device that meets a customer's performance and cost goals.

The program was led by Dr.Taryn Bayles, Professor of Practice at University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC). The program was a miniature version of her "Introduction to Engineering" course at UMBC. There were hands-on projects during each of the seven sessions. The series of programs culminated with a project competition. The winners, chosen for the performance and cost of their project, shared $2000 in prize money.
