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 pre-college outreach program is to increase awareness and interest in technological advancement in the field of engineering among high school students. The program aims to accomplish the above mentioned goal by providing an opportunity to explore the world of engineering by interacting with faculty and students at the college while working in their research labs. Students will have opportunities to hear lectures from engineers, work on numerous engineering projects, engage in group discussions, and go on industry field trips.

This program also serves to reinforce math and science skills. Clearly, the most enjoyable part of the program for participating students is to be able to live on campus and experience college life for the entire week.
