Out and About: Exciting the Next Generation of Engineers Rensselaer engineering students recently hosted a group of Capital Region 12- and 13-year-old girls for an afternoon of hands-on engineering activities, including creating personalized candy boxes, in the Advanced Manufacturing Lab. The "Engineering Is Sweet" program was developed by Sam Chiappone, manager of the Fabrication & Prototyping Lab in the School of Engineering; Larry Ruff, supervisor and systems engineer of the Advanced Manufacturing Lab; and Anne Marinaro, a junior majoring in electrical engineering. The goal of the educational outreach program is to give young students in grades K-12 an opportunity to experience first-hand the possible educational and career choices in engineering. The young students were visiting from the Skidmore Summer Science Institute for Girls, a program of Skidmore College Office of Special Programs. The visit was coordinated by Barbara Ruel, director of the Rensselaer Women in Engineering Program and the Women at Rensselaer Mentor Program.
