The program offers a unique opportunity to live on campus, experience university life, and explore New York City while engaging in hands-on engineering projects and career development.
The Manhattan University Residential Summer Engineering Program invites high school students to explore the core disciplines of engineering through immersive, hands-on activities and real-world applications. Participants will delve into chemical, civil, environmental, computer, electrical, and mechanical engineering, gaining foundational knowledge and practical skills in university labs. The program emphasizes project-based learning, allowing students to engage in design challenges and experiments that mirror the work of professional engineers. Beyond technical skills, the curriculum fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration. Students will also have opportunities for career development, including meeting industry professionals and learning about various engineering pathways. The program aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to the field, helping students determine if an engineering future is right for them.
On a typical day, campers meet with their teacher and work on an activity related to the engineering theme of the week. During lunch, they meet virtually with a Manhattan University engineering alumnus who explains the work they do on the job. Campers continue their engineering project in the afternoon, with one day dedicated to meeting Manhattan University lab faculty in the lab.
This program is ideal for high school students interested in exploring various engineering disciplines through hands-on activities and gaining insight into potential career paths.
