Southern Illinois University Edwardsville will host two week-long Engineering Summer Camps in June. The residential camps will run from June 9-14 and 16-21 in the School of Engineering.
The camps annually introduce approximately 50 students to various engineering disciplines, computer science and construction management. Current high school freshmen, sophomores and juniors experience fun activities that are challenging and thought-provoking.
“The camps have been successful over the years because of the tremendous enthusiasm shared by our faculty and our campers,” said Chris Gordon, interim associate dean of the School of Engineering. “The exceptional hands-on activities illustrate the rewarding opportunities available to graduates of each of our programs.”
Students have the opportunity to participate in various hands-on laboratory experiments, design contests and go on field trips. Students also get a flavor of residential college life that will build lasting friendships with their peers.
The $350 fee includes accommodations, food, round-trip transportation for field trips, as well as all necessary materials and supplies. A limited number of scholarships are available for students who can demonstrate need.
Accommodations will be provided in SIUE residence halls. Participants will be assigned to double occupancy rooms. Each participant will be issued a university debit card to use for meals and snacks at the Morris University Center.
Students will be supervised during all academic and recreational activities, including the overnight residence hall stay. A family reception will be hosted for all participants on the last day of each session. Family and friends are invited.
