Abstract
This work-in progress paper presents an update to The INFINITY Project (http://www.infinity-project.org/), a joint effort between university educators, industrial partners, and high school teachers to introduce an engineering curriculum at the high school level. The initial pilot program (2000-2001) involved nearly 500 students at 14 different Texas (USA) high schools. Responses to the effort from teachers and students at the different high schools have been highly positive. The presentation discusses the further expansion of the program into over 40 schools during the 2001-2002 school year. An overview of the project was presented at FIE 2000. This presentation expounds findings after the first year of running the project and initial findings in the second year
