AN INVITATION FROM THE DEAN The Fenn Academy has had another amazing year. The pro-gram encourages middle and high school students to pursue an engineering degree by expanding participants’ knowledge

and enthusiasm for the engineering profession utilizing team competitions, lab tours, job shadowing, and more. Now in its twelfth year, the program has sixty-six participating mid-dle schools and high schools in six Northeastern Ohio counties and one in Dansville, NY.

Over 3,300 students benefitted from our services this year, a new record for us. New member schools include Keystone High School, Amherst High School, Warrensville Heights High School, the Hebrew Academy and New London High School. At Beachwood High School we are begin-ning to offer Computer Aided Engineering college courses. Our students also assist with engineering or career exploration activities at Lakewood High School, as well as Cleveland’s Orchard STEM School and New Tech East High School. Small engineer-

ing related grants are also offered annually to teachers who apply online.

Fenn Academy’s free services offer partial support for busing groups to campus, as

well as lunch. Engineering Activity Day tours enable students to see our beautiful metropolitan campus, engage in team challenges, and meet our outstanding students, staff and faculty. Also, visitors can see our incredible new $60 million engineering building, rising at E. 24 th and Chester. We are excited about its anticipated comple-tion in December, 2017, including the new Dan T. Moore “Maker Space”.

More than thirty-five corporate, government and individual partners generously sup-ported our recruiting efforts, including Lubrizol Corporation and the Lincoln Electric Company. Other donors included The Ronald R. Ledin Engineering Education En-dowment, the Michael D. Pollock Fenn Academy Scholarship, the Felicia Peters Pol-lock Fenn Academy Scholarship, and individual donors, Jerald Neff and Robert Schieman.

Our Fenn Academy team supported events including VEX Robotics, the Cleveland Clinic’s Health Care+ Pathways Program and Goodyear’s Career Day. We also host-

ed fifty students and parents from the FIRST Robotics competition and judged the Northeastern Ohio Science and Engineering Fair. At least five Cleveland Metropoli-tan School District high schools and middle schools were among thirty other schools who participated in our activities in 2016-2017, on and off campus.

As a result of this active community engagement, the Washkewicz College of Engi-neering continues to experience enrollment increases. Our Fenn Academy goals for the 2017-2018 academic year include greater outreach to women and other un-derrepresented groups, as well as working with additional schools in Lorain County.

Please take a few moments to review this Highlights publication. I’m sure it will con-

vince you that we are preparing “Ready to Go Engineers.” We invite you to join us in

this mission!

4 Fenn Academy Highlights 2016/2017

The Fenn Academy hosted its first group of elementary school students this year on April 11, 2017. Eighteen fourth and fifth grade students from Hayes Elementary School along with four teachers visited the Washkewicz College of Engineering for an Engineering Activity Day. These students are all members of the Coding Club at Hayes Elementary School where they regularly get together to learn about computer science. The opportunity to visit the Washkewicz College of Engineering gave these young students a chance to see what their future might look like if they were to continue pursuing their interest in technology as college students.

Engineering student recruiting assistants Christina Pope, Bri McKinney, Kyle Stephens, Yash Joshi and Arpit Patel served as role models during this day of activities and made a big impression on the students. Engineering professors, Dr. Dan Simon and Dr. Mounir Ibrahim opened up their labs and answered the students’ questions. Following the visit, the Fenn Academy received hand-made thank you notes from the students expressing their hopes of one day attending CSU. These elementary students were a pleasure to have on-campus and we look forward to future collaboration with their school.

5 Fenn Academy Highlights 2016/2017

FENN ACADEMY SMALL GRANTS MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE

A relatively small amount of money can go a long way to help local teachers and their students develop creative engineering projects. With that in mind, the Fenn Academy Small Grants Program offers a competitive application process for educators to submit ideas for support. Since its start in 2014, over $13,000 has been distributed with the generous support of Fenn Academy’s funding providers.

In 2016/17, teachers from Euclid High School, New Tech East High School (Cleveland), Benedictine High School (Cleveland), and Theodore Roosevelt High School (Kent) were awarded small grants totaling $3,984.

Euclid High School, under the leadership of teacher and district science coach, Michelle McGarry, created a challenge and data collection experiment requiring problem solving and engineering design. Each of her students were also assigned to a 5th grader from a Euclid elementary school to design, decorate and launch a rocket. The launch will be demonstrated to 9th and 10th graders and the video will be used for open houses and on the school’s TV channel to encourage additional

student interest in STEM.

At New Tech East High School, math teacher Michelle Robb utilized the engineering design process provided by Project Lead the Way to teach her students to build small table top trebuchets. CSU engineering students Tyler Vegh, Elizabeth Akosile, Victor Rosa, and Christina Pope visited the class weekly to assist New Tech student teams, and to offer help with Computer Aided Design (CAD), technical drawings and measurement. CSU’s students also shared their college

experiences and informally advised and encouraged New Tech students.

6 Fenn Academy Highlights 2016/2017

Another small grant enabled Principal Sue Zulandt and teacher Yvonne Schiffer to develop a cardboard canoe challenge at Benedictine High School. The grant partially supported the cost of an optical scanner, paired with a 3D printer, for use in the school’s CAD class and STEM club activities. Funding was also used for prizes and for monthly engineering design

challenges. During their involvement with the Washkewicz College of Engineering, the Benedictine club visited CSU for Engineering Activity Days and participated in job shadowing. Fenn Academy’s Director, Dr. Majid Rashidi, and Assistant

Director, Gregg Schoof, also spoke to students at the high school.

Benedictine had 29 members of last year’s graduating class admitted to CSU and 11 students enrolled. Students Steven

Matz and Thomas Tube are entering their sophomore year in engineering at CSU. Clearly, their Fenn Academy experiences helped to lead them here.

Troy Spear and co-teacher Jeff Bee at Roosevelt High School in Kent used their funding to introduce Six District Educational Compact students to electronics and flight engineering. Three drone kits were purchased from Airwolf 3D that students built for a competition. The teachers and students are Society of Manufacturing Engineer (SME) and Skills USA members who have participated in multiple technical contests. The Six District Educational Compact’s Engineering

Academy includes high schools in Kent, Stow-Munroe Falls, Hudson, Tallmadge, Woodridge, and Cuyahoga Falls.

9 Fenn Academy Highlights 2016/2017

Since 1999, the Washkewicz College of Engineering has been coordinating the Engineer for a Day Job Shadowing Program for area high school students. The 2017 Engineer-for-a-Day program saw 79 students from 35 high schools participate in the program. These students were placed at 22 engineering companies throughout Northeast Ohio.

Students and parents attended an orientation and open house at CSU on Saturday, February 11th, two weeks prior to their shadowing date of February 24th. The open house enabled visitors to discover more about engineering requirements, available scholarships, student activities, Co-operative Education, financial aid and student services.

Prior to the shadowing day, companies received a printed guide that offered suggestions for how to make the shadowing day an interesting experience. They were also provided with students’ contact information and permission forms prior to a student’s visit.

Shadowing assignments were offered at both private and government based engineering organizations, including the Cleveland Clinic, NASA Glenn Research Center, GM, Ford, Middough, Turner Construction, American Greetings, Parker Hannifin, and many more. Additional organizations are sought annually.

Employers were asked to keep the students on site for the length of a school day. They offered tours, hands-on activities, video presentations, one-on-one discussions and useful information about the career paths of participating engineering volunteers. In many cases, sponsoring organizations also provided lunch. Learn more about what one participating company, CTL Engineering, did with their Engineer-for-a-Day participants here: https://www.ctleng.com/engineer-for-day/

Students and companies were surveyed following the Engineer-for-a-Day experience and the results show that this long running program continues to be a success. Over half of participants rated their overall experience as excellent and 95% of participants said they would participate in the program again. When asked for their favorite part of the experience, students had a variety of answers from “talking to engineers and learning useful tips for college and career” to “seeing what they [engineers] do in real life.” The engineering companies similarly enjoy participating in this event. Ninety percent of our company partners say that they feel the students benefit from this activity.

What students said about their experience: “Thank you for allowing this firsthand look at a great career field.”

“I had an absolutely great experience in Berea. The engineers over at the [Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure] Commission really made me feel welcome. This experience showed me the ins and outs of day to day operations at a civil engineering job- something I need to understand as a prospective civil engineering student. Once again thank you for orchestrating this excellent experience for me and other similar students.”

“I got to learn how jet engines worked, and I was the only shadower, so I got a lot of one-on-one stuff. Plus, everyone was super fun and nice to me.”

“Visiting CSU last Saturday was a great experience. It was very well organized. Thank you for this shadowing opportunity.”

“My favorite part of the experience was getting to see what some of the people in the professions I am interested in actually do on a daily basis.”

“Dr. Nazario and all the NASA staff were really nice and helpful...I want to work in research at NASA. Also, I liked touring labs during orientation day. Overall a great experience! Cleveland State University is impressive...looking forward to the new engineering building being completed.”

We thank all of the organizations, both public and private, for helping to prepare the next generation of engineering professionals.

Thanks to members of the Washkewicz College Visiting Committee who encouraged participation in the Engineer for a Day job shadowing activity.
