Abstract	This paper describes a novel outreach approach to high school and middle school students to familiarize them with engineering functions and methods. In this approach students participated in a seven-day summer research camp and learned many engineering skills and tools such as CAD solid modeling, finite element analysis, rapid prototyping, mechanical tests, team working, and communication skills under a project-based bridge design research project. The project choice was intended to integrate principles of artistic design, creative use of public spaces, as well as principles of engineering design. End of the program survey results showed a good understanding about the engineering skills and functions and a high degree of satisfaction among participants. (As Provided).
