Summer Engineering Experiences

Through our summer camps, you'll be able to

• Engage with faculty, engineering professionals and engineering students.
• Explore the diverse fields of engineering through interactive sessions. Guided by University faculty, you'll discover how engineers tackle some of the most pressing challenges facing society.
• Optional parent/guardian programming to learn about the college admission process, along with UD and engineering specifics.

Each day will cater to one or two specific Engineering disciplines. 

• June 24: Choose from Mechanical Engineering (energy, sustainability, mechanical systems) or Chemical Engineering (food engineering, process engineering). 
  • Mechanical Engineering is full - Waitlist is available at the registration link. NOTE: If you see a "registration failed" message when you complete the first screen of information and it then asks for your address, please ignore - the form is working correctly. 
  • Chemical Engineering has limited spots still available - register soon.
• June 25: Engineering Technology (sustainable manufacturing, process optimization using methods from mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and industrial engineering). 
  • Engineering Technology is full- Waitlist is available at the registration link. NOTE: If you see a "registration failed" message when you complete the first screen of information and it then asks for your address, please ignore - the form is working correctly. 
• June 26: Choose from Electrical and Computer Engineering (bioengineering, analog wave applications) or Civil Engineering (geotechnical, transportation, hydraulics).
  • Electrical and Computer Engineering is full - Waitlist is available at the registration link. NOTE: If you see a "registration failed" message when you complete the first screen of information and it then asks for your address, please ignore - the form is working correctly. 
  • Civil Engineering has limited spots still available - register soon.
•  

On days with two disciplines, these camps will run at the same time. Students will not be able to attend both at the same time. (For example, a student cannot attend both mechanical engineering and chemical engineering. But they can attend another camp on June 25 or 26).

Note: Our experiences have changed from a multi-day residential camp to a one day experience for the summer of 2024. Overnight accommodations are not available.

• Our engineering experiences are open to high school students entering junior (class of 2026) and senior (class of 2025) year in the fall of 2024.
• Engineering experiences have limited capacity and will fill on a first come, first serve basis.
• Rising high school sophomores (Class of 2027) interested in a Summer Engineering Experience? Join our waitlist.
