Deadline About the Program

The Women Explore Engineering (WEE) Summer Camp is a special 4-day program designed to give female high school students, with an interest in science, mathematics and engineering, an opportunity to explore engineering as a career. The camp focuses on issues important to women and other groups that are under-represented in the field of engineering (African Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans). Sessions include panel and group discussions with women in engineering (faculty and students) who will focus on the reality of the workplace and college for females in engineering. Participants are given tips on how to balance an engineering career and a family along with other career options for women in engineering. During the camp, participants live on campus in modern residence halls, attend special classes, participate in group and panel discussions,visit with representatives from all engineering departments during an information session and do a bit of engineering themselves by completing a design project. Camp counselors are with camp participants throughout the day and evenings. All application materials must be submitted no later than March 30, 2013. Selection will be based on academic qualifications and potential benefit to the participant. Participants will be notified of acceptance by April 30. Students who are selected for the program will receive more detailed instructions at that time. For application details, please visit the website:
