Summer Engineering Academy
Summer Engineering Academy, or SEA, is an intensive summer program that offers
the student the opportunity to learn, to think, and problem-solve like an engineer.
Students will apply their knowledge of math and science to practical projects, and
see concepts they learned in high school classrooms come alive. Through lab work,
group projects, lectures and assignments, you'll learn how engineers approach realworld problems. The students will meet other students with similar interests and
collaborate on testing theories and find solutions to engineering problems.
Students will compete in the classic engineering competition of an egg drop with a twist.
As students complete SEA projects on materials, structures, chemical processes,
circuit design, computer programming, robotics, and other topics, they will gain
insights into which engineering fields best match their abilities and interests.
Fields that will be covered are Electrical, Mechanical, and Mechatronics. These
modules will be t w o weeks in length and 3 hours long each day. Students will rotate
through each module.
Students will also take an introduction to college class to prepare them for entry
into the University System. This class is designed to orient students to the college
setting. Students will be able to identify college resources, explain important
policies, demonstrate knowledge of registration procedures, discuss definition of
success and evaluate their important life roles. Students will attend this course
every morning for 1 hour.
Prerequisites are completion of geometry, completion of physics, or chemistry or
biology and basic computer skills. Fill in the application send it along with your TB and
MMR clearance, and registration fee to:
