Engineering Summer Camps

The goal of the Engineering summer camps is to introduce various engineering disciplines, computer science and construction management to young, aspiring high-school students through a set of activities that are fun, challenging, and thought-provoking. Students will have the opportunity to learn about how engineering impacts our lives through participation in various hands-on laboratory experiments, design contests and field trips. They will also get a taste of residential college life, and will hopefully build lasting friendships with their peers from other high schools.

2020 Dates
