North Carolina A&T State University hosted the Research Apprenticeship Program (RAP) this summer from June 27-July 20, 2012. Six high school students performed food science research in Dr. Salam A. Ibrahim's lab. Four students completed research projects as follows: 1. Antonio Powell: Effect of Commonly Administered Medical Drugs on the Death Rate of Bifidobacterium Microbiota. 2. Shannon Walston: Antimicrobial activity of copper alone or in combination with ascorbic acid against E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella, and Cronobacter spp. in laboratory medium. 3. Mariah Bishop: Use of Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) to develop a medium for cultivation of Lactobacillus reuteri. 4. Briana Holness: Sensory evaluation of cupcake fortified with Omega-3PUFA (Fish Oil). Students also attended several lectures and demonstrations related to introduction to food science, dairy food processing, food safety, food protection and HACCP for a total of 6 lectures and two laboratory demonstrations. Lastly, students conducted several experiments related to microbiological quality of fresh produce and milk products from local stores.

In collaboration with Mr. Joe Ruhl - Advanced Sciences Teacher at Jefferson High School in Lafayette, IN - graduate students in Dr. Haley F. Oliver's lab at Purdue University are developing mentoring skills by teaching food safety laboratory techniques to high school students. Participating high school students conduct an independent research project under the supervision of a graduate student research assistant, to earn advanced science credits at the high school level. Students spend 3-7 hours in the lab each week August-March. Completed projects are presented at the Lafayette Regional Science Fair http://www.sefi.org as part of the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair https://student.societyforscience.org/intel-isef. Science Research Syllabus 2013-14 Student projects include: • "Identification of Psychrotrophic Microorganisms from Retail Delis" Ashley Anderson, 2013-2014
Dr. Haley Oliver's lab at Purdue University led the Food Science Program at the Hoosier Agribusiness and Science Academy (HASA) on July 20th, 2012 for roughly 20 high school students. The Purdue Food Science department was one of the areas of agribusiness that was chosen to be highlighted in order to expose students to a possible career path that they would not be familiar with. The objectives of the day were to highlight the core principals of food science, engage the students in hands on activities relating to food science, and to showcase the importance of food scientists in agribusiness.
