SUMMER ENGINEERING EXPLORATION CAMP FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Sunday, July 13, 2008 - Saturday, July 19, 2008

This summer SWE is offering the annual Summer Engineering Exploration (SEE) Camp, a weeklong investigation of the various fields and career possibilities in engineering at the University of Michigan.

SEE is aimed at high school students considering the field of engineering. It allows the participants to explore the many engineering disciplines that the University of Michigan College of Engineering offers. The campers are also introduced to some of the major engineering clubs and organizations on campus. The camp also includes visits to outside locations to experience the professional world of engineering. Participants will have the chance to interact with admissions and financial aid counselors, engineering students, faculty, and professional women engineers. In addition, the camp includes a variety of activities aimed at building teamwork skills and having fun in Ann Arbor. Last year this included a ropes course, team design project, canoeing, pool, the Ann Arbor Art Fair, and more!

The application contains more detailed information about the camp. You may also want to check out our brochure and flyer. Applications are due Tuesday, March 27, 2008.
