The program uniquely integrates North Carolina mathematics standards with engineering principles and Science Olympiad-style challenges, providing a comprehensive and engaging STEM experience.
The UNC Charlotte Engineering Mathematics Program offers middle school students (grades 6-8) a dynamic opportunity to delve into mathematics, engineering, and scientific inquiry through hands-on, standards-aligned activities. The program aims to spark curiosity and build foundational STEM skills by integrating North Carolina mathematics standards with engineering principles and Science Olympiad-style challenges. Students engage in activities such as designing and constructing model bridges to test strength and efficiency, launching foam rockets to understand trajectory and angle optimization, and programming robots to navigate mazes using math-based logic and spatial reasoning. The curriculum also includes exposure to STEM professionals through guest speakers, offering insights into real-world applications of engineering and mathematics. The program emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaborative projects, preparing students for advanced coursework in STEM fields.
Each in-person session includes 1.5 hours of instruction by a certified mathematics instructor or graduate student, followed by a 15-minute break, and then another 1.5 hours of instruction by a second instructor.
This program is ideal for middle school students in grades 6-8 with a minimum grade of 'C' in math and science and an overall GPA of 2.5 or higher, who are eager to explore the intersection of mathematics, engineering, and scientific inquiry.
