Senior Engineering Opportunities
SAMS @ Carneige Mellon
The Summer Academy for Mathematics and Science is a rigorous residential summer experience for good students who have a strong interest in math and science and want to become excellent students. Students who are entering their junior or senior year and are considering careers in engineering, science and other math-based disciplines are eligible to apply. Students must be at least 16 years old to participate in this program. The program will focus on creating interest in technical disciplines and building academic and personal skills to better prepare you for the college application process.
Separate tracks will be developed for each grade level. In addition to more traditional classroom instruction, students will be involved in hands-on
engineering and science projects that provide an opportunity for them to apply concepts and principles introduced in the classroom. The challenging academic environment and peer support for excellence in the classroom will build the self-confidence required to do well in high school and college. The goal of the program is to prepare students for admission to selective colleges and universities.
Clark Scholar Program @ Texas Tech University
The Clark Scholar Program is an intensive seven week summer research program for highly qualified high school juniors and seniors. Research areas:
Agronomy, Animal Science, Biochemistry, Bilingual Education, Biological Sciences, Biophysics, Business, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Classical and Romance Languages, Education, Electrical Engineering, English, Food & Nutrition, History, Horticulture, Human Development & Family Studies, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering, Music, Philosophy, Physics, Psychology,
Range & Wildlife Management, Science Education, Theatre Arts
National Space Club Scholars Program
The purpose of this program is to provide students with an opportunity to experience how research and development organizations operate on a day-to-day basis in direct support of NASA's mission to inspire the next generation of explorers. Participants will be assigned to work with a technical professional in a field related to the student's stated interests and expertise. The available areas of interest include earth and space systems science, computer science and engineering.
Research Science Institute @ MIT
Each summer, 80 of the world's most accomplished high school students gather at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for the Research Science Institute (RSI). RSI is the first cost-free to students, summer science & engineering program to combine on-campus course work in scientific theory with off-campus work in science and technology research. RSI scholars first participate in a week of intensive STEM classes with accomplished professors. The heart of RSI is the five week research internship where students conduct individual projects under the tutelage of mentors who are experienced scientists and researchers. During the final week of RSI, students prepare written and oral presentations on their research projects.
