circuit was constructed as a Morse Code Circuit and basic equations were taught. For more
information, please see the project description.
II. Purpose & Relationship to Objectives of TBP: This purpose of this project was to increase the
confidence and knowledge of math, science, and engineering to increase the matriculation of
students taking Calculus in high school. Although this course was not offered at this high
school, our pre and final questionnaire showed growth in the interest of becoming an
engineer and is a step closer to taking this course.

District 4 Project of the Year Award - DC-Alpha Chapter
Greensboro, N.C.
April 6, 2013
Within the DC-Alpha chapter, there has been a keen desire to teach, inspire, and promote knowledge. Our
chapter has actively demonstrated community outreach through two different MindSET projects. This was a
unique opportunity because instead of helping a standard high school, we collaborated with an alternative high
school which consists of students who have aged out of middle school and were placed into high school
sometimes with a reading level of 5th or 6th grade. In November 2012, DC-Alpha conducted the popsicle stick
bridge project with the DC-Gamma chapter at the Metropolitan High School as our first MindSET event of the
year. This workshop consisted of five different sessions which started with students dividing into groups of four
and drawing a blueprint of their bridges, and learning concepts like torque, forces, and compression. Students
were challenged to select materials that were economically feasible and to build their bridge within the required
dimensions. At the end, students were able to create a bridge and have a competition based on which one held
the most weight.
After reflecting on our first MindSET project, we saw a need for a male influence within the school due to
many single parent households and also saw a need for more key concepts to be learned for the project. Instead
of continuing with the civil engineering discipline, we decided to expand and go with electrical engineering
which enabled us to build a Morse code electrical circuit. Members of TRUST, a society founded on Howard
University’s campus in 2011 that consists of men in the STEM field, collaborated with us for our second
MindSET event in March 2013, to establish a male presence at the school. Also, quizzes and worksheets were
developed to provide a means for students to solve for currents, voltages and resistances using equations from
principles of electronics (Ohm’s Law, Kirchhoff’s Law, etc.). In addition to our goal to increase the amount of
students who take calculus while they are in high school, we developed a questionnaire that asked student’s
interests and level of confidence in math and science, and whether they wanted to be an engineer in the future.
For the latter question, the choices were from one to five, and one student crossed out the one and put a zero,
where all of the other students put a one.
As the session continued, the DC-Alpha chapter of Tau Beta Pi and the brothers of TRUST made a tremendous
impact on capturing the attention of the students who learned and were eager to participate in the project. This
was apparent when the students showed enthusiasm and a will to learn throughout the project. All of them were
able to complete the circuit, learn key electronic equations, apply them, and even interpret the Morse code
message on the day of the competition. After this success, the previous questionnaire was distributed. The
ranking of students who wanted to be an engineer now reached two from a scale of one to five, which was an
improvement within the three days we were there. MindSET was truly a rewarding experience for both college
and high school students. Even though this increment was relatively small, it shows a big impact for the three
class periods that we were at the school and shows the potential for inspiring young students at the Washington
Metropolitan High school to become engineers and involved in the STEM field within a week.

One Quote:
“Some say the cup is half empty, while others say it is half full.
However, in my opinion both are wrong. The real problem is the
cup is too big. Sometimes all we need is a new perspective on an
old problem.”

DESCRIPTION:
I. General Description: In order to spread awareness about Tau Beta Pi to engineering
freshmen, DC-Alpha attended the freshman class to explain what it takes to be eligible to join
Tau Beta Pi as well as what the organization stands and also invited them to the Engineering
Future Session the following Saturday.
II. Purpose & Relationship to Objectives of TBP: This project was able to teach others about what
this organization stands for and encouraged academic excellence for freshman to strive
towards becoming a member of Tau Beta Pi. This is a movement to improve our university
because it is an effort to increase GPA’s within the college.

DESCRIPTION:
I. General Description: The Popsicle Bridge MindSET Project required popsicle
sticks, Elmer’s glue, and hot glue guns to construct a bridge with dimensions of a
24” lower deck, a 4” to 6” width, a height of 6cm, and a 4” bearing. Paper, pencils,
and rulers were provided to make blueprints for the construction of the bridge.
Before students began building, there was a discussion on the importance of
bridges, their functions, and the responsibilities of engineers who design them.
Students were encouragement that civil as well as other engineering majors,
could be a possible career path for those who want are interested in the field.
The Popsicle Bridge Project is designed to introduce and teach the applications
of Newton’s 1st, 2nd, and 3rd laws, tension, compression, and making sound
decisions on financially feasible designs.
Students were given twenty minutes to draw a sketch of their bridges. After,
students were charged for each item they bought for the construction of their
bridge ($1-popsicle stick, $5-Elmer’s glue, $25 - hot glue gun rental, $10–1 glue
stick). The students divided into four groups, and collectively worked on the
construction of their bridge. Four 1.5 hour sessions were devoted to building the
bridge. The fifth and last session was judgment day. The bridge to hold the most
weight was the winner. Different objects were weighed and placed on each bridge
starting from lowest to highest weight to test the strength of each bridge.
II. Purpose & Relationship to Objectives of TBP: The ultimate purpose of the popsicle
bridge project is to instill an interest in the students that leads them to pursue a
possible career path in engineering. Other objectives are to increase the
confidence and self-awareness in the students, and encourage them to pursue
higher math and science courses. This corresponds to the objectives of Tau Beta
Pi because we are giving back to our community, and teaching them fundamental
principles in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) field.

and the students from the Washington Metropolitan High School, as well as the
teacher, Mr. Bonner.
IV. Cost & Personnel Requirements: Cost- The DC-Alpha chapter received a grant of
$177.61 from Tau Beta Pi headquarters to cover the cost of the MindSET event.
After materials were purchased, the total price was $186.85 which included
popsicle sticks - $40.41, tacks - $44.70, tape - $10.30, glue - $22.20, snack - $60.00,
hot glue guns - $5.55, and hot glue – $3.30. Personnel Requirements – advised
students on bridge, maintained a professional
atmosphere.
V. Special Problems: The students were interested in the project, but after four
original groups were established, it diminished to two groups after the third
session. On the day of the competition, only one group was present, and because
of their commitment and dedication, this was the group to win the competition.
More committed members would have increased the spirit of the competition for
the students.
VI. Overall Evaluation/Results (Be Specific): The students were very excited about
the project, and showed interest. They were very involved and willingly
participated in the program. Even though students were interested, they walked
in and out of the classroom, and we did not have all of their attention. Perhaps
certain key phrases, references, or reminders will stimulate students to be more
focused. More research on how we can better capture the attention of students
will be undertaken. The students could have retained more of the math and
science concepts if they were given a worksheet, or a quiz to reinforce what they
learned during the program. This will be a implemented in our next MindSET
project.
