Students will engage in a series of engineering activities including hands-on computer graphics mini-research projects, job shadowing and field trips. These activities are designed to provide an integrated orientation to four areas of engineering including chemical and materials, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering. During the fall semester following the summer activity, students will complete a supervised, individualized project and will be expected to return to the campus for follow-up activities during Engineering Week.
