Women's Engineering Exploration (WE2)

Temple University's College of Engineering is offering an exciting  one-week, residential summer program for female high school students entering their sophomore, junior, or senior year.  The goal of this program is to give high school students an opportunity to explore the world of engineering, and reinforce their math and science skills.  Participants will get to live on campus and discuss engineering topics with professors, students, and industry leaders.

Students will have opportunities to hear lectures from engineers, work on numerous engineering projects, engage in group discussions, and go on industry field trips.
