TEXAS PREFRESHMAN ENGINEERING PROGRAM
The Texas Prefreshman Engineering Program (TexPREP) identifies achieving middle and high school students with an interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) areas and strengthens their potential for careers in these fields.
The program promotes high achievement and provides students with the necessary reinforcement to successfully pursue higher education and careers in math, science, engineering, and technology. With a focus on building a high quality and diverse 21st century workforce, women and members of minority groups, traditionally underrepresented in these areas, continue to serve as special target groups.
TexPREP is a six to eight week mathematics-based, academic enrichment program, designed for students in grades six through eleven (see curriculum on back). The Texas Education Agency has authorized participating school districts in the state of Texas to award one elective credit toward high school graduation for each successfully completed summer of TexPREP.
TexPREP is a structured and challenging program, which stresses the development of abstract reasoning and problem solving skills through coursework, homework, team projects, class presentations, and examinations. The curriculum emphasizes the application of mathematics and logic.
Staffed by faculty representing various disciplines and industries, such as college faculty, high school teachers, industrial engineers, scientists and mathematicians, the academic program also employs Program Assistant Mentors, typically undergraduate engineering, mathematics, and science majors.
