Program Details
E2 participants are typically students who are interested in pursuing an education/career in engineering. Some of them know exactly what discipline they would like to pursue, and want to learn more about that area. Others have a general idea, and a number of students are unsure of which discipline is right for them. Our program provides them with the opportunity to explore the field of engineering and learn what each discipline entails in order for them to make an informed decision regarding their future. Applicants are recommended by their high school math, science, or technology teachers. Enrollment is restricted to 125 students each session. These students receive:
- Exposure to twelve Engineering Programs
- On-campus housing and dining hall meals
- Instruction from full-time faculty
- Mentoring and coaching from current undergraduate engineering students
- Access to state-of-the-art research areas
- Access to our Engineering Learning Center and use of the center’s associated software
- The opportunity to participate in the Young Engineering Science Scholars (YESS) program
Fee: $700 to attend the program. This covers housing, meals, project materials and supply costs.
Deadline to Apply: April 30th
