WIE Summer Camp: Events

Welcome

Your camp experience will begin on Sunday, July 8 with registration from 3-4 p.m.

Social activities

Get to know women from across the country as you socialize during evening activities or while swimming and using the campus recreation center.

Experiments in engineering

Build it, try it, test it! This is the most popular camp module.  Guided by University of Dayton faculty, you'll learn firsthand what distinguishes chemical, civil, computer, electrical, and mechanical engineering as well as engineering technology. Past participants have—

1. Used injection molding to make key chains from new and recycled plastics
2. Built a structure able to withstand earthquakes
3. Designed a prosthetic leg for a dog
4. Worked with robots and sensors and learned about face detection, tracking, and identification
5. Developed a concept for instrumentation of a new ATM system

Team Competition Activities

Participate in fun and challenging competition activities planned by the counselors, which encourage you to use your imagination and creativity to think outside the box!

Dinner with an engineer

How have you used your degree? Do you like what you're doing now? Enjoy a comfortable sit-down dinner with an engineer, ask questions, and hear from professional women engineers who are open, willing to share, and ready to encourage.

Day with industry

See for yourself! Leave campus and spend a day with an industry. Depending on the industry, you might shadow an engineer, tour a plant or observe a process.

Graduation luncheon

Your week comes to a close as parents join us for a luncheon with a photo presentation from the camp week.
