UW Colleges Southeast Region's Engineering Boot Camp for High School Students (Posted 5/22/17)
UW Colleges Regional Continuing Education is offering local high school students an opportunity to see first-hand the numerous career opportunities that a degree in engineering has! This is the perfect venue for high school students that want to become an engineer, but are not sure what exact field they would like to enter. This is a challenging, fun, and hands?on experience to expose students to various engineering disciplines so that they may pursue engineering studies in college related to their specific interest. Students will learn about the exciting fields of engineering from local engineers and engineering students, participate in engineering design projects, and visit local businesses to observe engineers at work. For one week in the summer, we will visit a different local company each day, tour their facility, and speak with their engineers to learn what their day entails and how they landed their job position. During the week, we will explore civil, electrical, industrial/manufacturing, mechanical, material, and architectural engineering. Space is limited.
