ENGINEERING

July 21st – July 28th

University of Vermont

Burlington, Vermont

The technologies of tomorrow start at this Institute where approximately 100 high school students from Vermont, the US, and around the world explore engineering solutions to societal problems. At GIE, you’ll get up close and personal with cutting-edge sustainable engineering challenges, working with peers and professional experts to design and build solutions that work.

We’ll explore basic and advanced engineering concepts, delve deep into sustainable engineering applications and techniques, and work hands-on on projects spanning energy, structural, electrical, mechanical, design and manufacturing engineering. Choosing from a guided focus area you’ll design a working prototype to address a real-world engineering challenge. explore how engineering and society interact. -

Focus area choices include:

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

In addition, we’ll tour some of the area’s most advanced manufacturing facilities to see engineering in action, and map career pathways in aerospace, biomedical, civil, mechanical, electrical engineering plus statistics, mathematics, and computer applications.
