This program is designed for high school students who wish to learn about mechanical engineering from engineering students, faculty members, and professionals in the field. Participants will explore one of the sub-areas of mechanical engineering each week. Register for the event below.
The program will take place at Manhattan College campus for five weeks, from July 10 to August 11, and will run from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. each day. Each module (week) will offer a variety of activities such as:
- Hands-on workshops and lectures presented by mechanical engineering professors.
- Tours of Manhattan College’s labs and facilities.
- Information sessions on topics such as “how is the life of a mechanical engineering student at Manhattan College," “what you will be doing as a mechanical engineer”, and “how to apply to become a mechanical engineer”.
- Presentations from student clubs and student projects, giving insight into the life of a mechanical engineering student.
- Hands-on experiences and competitions.
Students have the option to participate in one to five weeks of the program. Those who complete at least one week will receive a certificate of completion, which grants them a no cost application to Manhattan College’s engineering program (worth $75).
