Program Information:

Approximately 100 high school students (in-state, out-of-state and international students) will participate in the UVM/GIV Engineering Institute June 26 through July 3, 2010. Students will explore the links between technology and the human experience through hands-on engineering projects, laboratory experiences, faculty presentations, and enlightening tours.  

Students will experience 8 days/7 nights at UVM hearing from engineers, computer scientists and mathematicians who will discuss societal problems and present engineering solutions. Four different engineering projects will provide key research opportunities and exciting hands-on learning:

•    Renewable/Sustainable Energy Systems
•    Robotics Systems
•    Aerospace Engineering
•    Engineering Design Challenge

Career opportunities in aerospace, biomedical, civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering as well as statistics, mathematics, and computer applications will be explored.

 “The Institute focuses on sustainable engineering practices -- a challenge all engineers and scientists currently face – and how to use global resources in equitable ways,” says Bernard “Chip” Cole, Interim Dean of the UVM College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences, and keynote speaker for the Institute. “Students are empowered with knowledge and leave with an understanding of how technology impacts our world.”

Major Contributors include:  NASA Vermont Space Grant Consortium, UVM College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences, and NSF MUSE Grant Scholarship, P.I. Jeff Frolik.
