Future engineers use roller coaster models for seminar

Even though these students get to work with K'NEX, the Seminar for Top Engineering Prospects (STEP) is more than fun and games.

STEP brings high school students together from around the country to give them an idea about the engineering program.

Three years ago, Alice Wilson attended STEP.

"I didn't have any idea of what engineering was. I thought it'd be a great way to learn about engineering," said Wilson. "I really enjoyed it. At first, I was like �why am I taking classes at summer camp?' But it really prepared me for what I experienced freshman year."

Wilson is now a junior in food processing engineering and is also a camp counselor for STEP. Deb Felix, the Honors Program Secretary, said STEP is designed to give high school students a taste of what engineering is.

Students rush to refinance loans before Saturday rate hike

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Thousands of college students and parents clogged phone lines and rushed to Internet sites this week in a scramble to refinance college loans before a sharp interest rate increase Saturday.

An almost 2 percentage point interest rate increase for federal student loans kicks in and advisers say that not refinancing could cost thousands of additional dollars in interest in the decades after a student enters the work force.

At the Missouri Higher Education Loan Authority, the nation's 12th largest student loan holder, calls were coming in at a clip of up to 15 a second, contributing to a tenfold increase in applications for student loan consolidations, said Raymond Bayer Jr., the agency's interim executive director. Other loan agencies also are experiencing high demand.
