Each session concludes after lunch on Friday. Participants may leave any time after lunch. The objective of the Introduction to Engineering course is to introduce outstanding high school juniors to the various engineering disciplines and the tools engineers use to do their work. The course should help the students better understand what engineers do, how mathematics and the sciences relate to engineering, and whether engineering is a suitable career choice for them. Applicants should have had one or more laboratory science courses and at least three units of high school mathematics.
