The objectives remained pretty much the same as they were in our first year of MSTI except for some activities that were changed to further strengthen the program.<\/p>\n<p>Fourteen boys and 6 girls from 11 Maine middle schools and home school, most from the Greater Bangor area were selected for the non-residential 2 weeks program. The MSTI activities exposed students to new frontiers and adventures such as highway design, bridge design, robotics\/control systems, alternative fuels, construction materials, transportation of people and cargo, transportation related laws, regulations, and safety, and career opportunities.\u00a0 Focus was also on the use of Maine\u2019s natural resources in transportation.\u00a0 In addition, students participated in hands-on lab projects, safety training, computer aided design (CAD) practice, field trips to transportation museums and facilities, and engineering lab tours, and recreational activities at the Student Recreation Center.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cFirst, I would like to thank you, your department and the University of Maine for offering such a wonderful camp for our son, and the other lucky participants.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Members of the Intermodal Advisory Committee from MDOT offices and other partners provided no cost exceptional hands-on activities and field trips.\u00a0 Some of the University of Maine Engineering faculty and local businesses such as Bangor Airport very enthusiastically volunteered their services to the Institute.\u00a0 Special highlight this year was the visit to the Maine Maritime Academy.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cI wish to thank you for the valuable experience (our son)had at the Transportation Camp this summer.\u00a0 He has always had a keen interest in history.\u00a0 enjoyed going to the Cole Transportation Museum, the railroad yard, the Maine Maritime Academy, and the airport.\u00a0 He enjoyed building the bridge with popsicles sticks and the bridge competition.\u00a0 He is one of the quietest of six children, but could not stop talking about how much he enjoyed the experience.\u00a0 History and engineering are better connected for him now, and he has mentioned the possibility of studying engineering in the future .We appreciate the time and effort you and the other staff members put into this camp as it has made a difference in his view of the world. Transportation related engineering is now viewed with near equal footing as history in his eyes.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Institute participants received a wealth of information and gained an insight into various modes and aspects of the transportation industry, life skills, research competencies, and college preparatory requirements. The MSTI also addressed transportation workforce needs, specifically the need of students pursuing careers in engineering and technology.\u00a0\u00a0 The participants and their parents were very satisfied and had wonderful compliments about the Institute. \u00a0Three MSTI graduates from the past years had won top Eastern Maine Math League competition awards.<\/p>\n<h3>Some More Parents\u2019 Feedback<\/h3>\n<p><em>I would like to let you know that our daughter had an absolutely awesome time at the 2010 Maine Summer Transportation Institute camp.\u00a0 She thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the camp but especially the field trips.\u00a0 Her favorite field trip by far was the visit to the Challenger Center mostly because it was a &#8220;hands on&#8221; type of field trip.\u00a0 She said she also thoroughly enjoyed the trip to Maine Maritime Academy, especially once she realized her dad actually attended some college there before transferring to the chemical engineering program at UMaine.\u00a0 This camp is so worthwhile for so many reasons but for her it gave her a chance to do something she is good at (i.e. using her mind and learning).\u00a0 There are so many camps out there for children involved in sports activities but not many for those who are not inclined to do sport (like my daughter).\u00a0 The MSTI program was the perfect camp for her to attend as she &#8220;fit in&#8221; there.\u00a0 Not only did she learn so much about the transportation\/engineering fields, she also made some very good friends.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>All in all, I feel the MSTI is a very worthy program and should be continued.\u00a0 While money is tight for most businesses and families, the grant(s) awarded that allows the kids to receive scholarships is very important as I am sure many of us parents would have been hard pressed to find the funds to send our kids to a camp such as this, no matter how much we would like to send them.\u00a0 Without the scholarship, she would not have been able to attend. I would like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone involved in running the camp for providing such a great opportunity for her (and the other children).<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The plusses were many:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Great field trips;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Quality visits to various engineering-focused departments on the UMaine campus;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Highly qualified tour leaders and presenters;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hands-on opportunities to help the students get a better sense for the kinds of work done by the various types of engineers;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Transportation;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And all of it <strong>provided at no cost<\/strong> to the camper and his\/her family<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>As always, there are a few opportunities for improvement:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A minor suggestion regarding the last day and the testing of the bridges\u2019 strength; have two measurement stations going at the same time so it doesn\u2019t go so long.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Again, we are grateful that he was able to participate in the camp; I believe it has sparked an interest in the engineering field and we plan on having him attend the Consider Engineering program when he gets to the right age. Who knows, maybe someday he will be a Black Bear in the College of Engineering!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201c<\/em><em>My Son enjoyed this experience so much and we thank you for the experience. He learned so much during those two weeks and had such a great time. He is looking forward to next year and hopes he will be able to participate again. He was very excited every day when he returned home telling me everything he has been learning. Thank you again!!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cOverall, we had mostly positive impressions about the entire program.\u00a0 \u00a0(\u00a0 ) had an excellent time and was sorry when it was all done after two weeks.\u00a0 They flew by for him.\u00a0 From our perspective, we think it was a great experience for him, and think it will provide a lot of incentive to be working hard in school this year.\u00a0 I attended a similar program run by the pulp and paper foundation between my junior and senior year in high school, and for him to have an experience like this when he&#8217;s only between his 6th and 7<sup>th<\/sup> grade year is fantastic. I think it was great for him at that age in particular, and the fact that he placed 3rd in both bridge competitions even though he was one of youngest made him feel very proud of himself. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>There was never a day when he wasn&#8217;t completely excited to be going to the camp, and he was sad to see it end.\u00a0 My next oldest already says she wants to apply in two years when she finishes sixth grade.\u00a0 So hopefully they&#8217;ll keep renewing the grant and you&#8217;ll be hearing from us in 2012.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>MSTI \u00a02010 Participant\u2019s List<\/strong><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"505\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"bottom\" width=\"95\"><strong>First Name<\/strong><\/td>\n<td valign=\"bottom\" width=\"105\"><strong>Last Name<\/strong><\/td>\n<td valign=\"bottom\" width=\"305\"><strong>School<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"bottom\" width=\"95\">Tyler<\/td>\n<td valign=\"bottom\" width=\"105\">Adams<\/td>\n<td valign=\"bottom\" width=\"305\">William S Cohen School<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"bottom\" width=\"95\">Juliana<\/td>\n<td valign=\"bottom\" width=\"105\">Bilodeau<\/td>\n<td valign=\"bottom\" width=\"305\">Home school<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"bottom\" width=\"95\">Adam E<\/td>\n<td valign=\"bottom\" width=\"105\">Cline<\/td>\n<td valign=\"bottom\" width=\"305\">Home school<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"bottom\" width=\"95\">Austin<\/td>\n<td valign=\"bottom\" width=\"105\">Comeau<\/td>\n<td valign=\"bottom\" width=\"305\">Leonard Middle School<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"bottom\" width=\"95\">Cameron<\/td>\n<td valign=\"bottom\" width=\"105\">Depaola<\/td>\n<td valign=\"bottom\" width=\"305\">Dr. Lewis S.
