Overview
If you're skilled in math and science and would like to use your talents to improve the world, then engineering could be the career for you.
This program will give you a first-hand look at this diverse and exciting field. You'll investigate a wide range of technical disciplines, such as:
- Bioengineering and earth sciences
- Chemical and electrical engineering
- Civil and environmental engineering
- Computer science and engineering
- Structural and mechanical engineering
- Operations research, and
- Material science and engineering physics
You'll have the opportunity to talk with senior faculty members and practitioners about the latest developments in research and technology.
And, not only will you have the chance to visit several of Cornell's cutting-edge facilities (possibilities include Cornell Nanofabrication Facility, the Center for High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS), and the Nanobiotechnology Center) you'll also gain hands-on experience during weekly laboratories, and participate in group projects created to familiarize you with the engineering design process. The projects and labs are fun, while at the same time challenge your creative abilities.
To be eligible for this program, you must have completed your junior or senior year of high school by June 2009.
