Summer Engineering Experiences for High Schoolers
Learn new skills, lead hands-on experiments, and discover your engineering passion in Summer Engineering Experiences with the Opus College of Engineering at Marquette University. Each Summer Engineering Experience is designed to ignite curiosity and critical thinking in participating high school students. These sessions also allow high school students to explore Marquette’s engineering spaces alongside current faculty, staff and students!
Key details for 2024 registration:
- Summer Engineering Experiences at Marquette are non-residential, half-day programs hosted on Marquette's campus.
- Families are responsible for their own transportation to and from campus each day.
- For our 2024 programs, we are only accepting rising 10th graders and above.
- Please note required math experience for select programs. Please contact engineering@marquette.edu with any questions.
- The Opus College of Engineering has scholarship funds available to support students who are unable to attend a Summer Engineering Experience due to financial concerns. Students and families interested in receiving scholarship support are encouraged to use the standard registration process and then complete the scholarship steps that will be shared via email when a payment link is sent.
2024 Summer Engineering Experiences
Fail, Learn and Repeat: Exploration of Automation
July 29 - 30 | 9:00a.m. to 12:30p.m. | $150 registration fee (scholarships available!)
Explore and discover how engineers use the engineering method with automation to solve real-world problems! Students will use the engineering method to get to know our cobots (collaborative robots), program and experiment with them to learn the principles of automation. Emphasis will be placed on how to break down large problems into manageable pieces that can be tested quickly to learn the fundamental theories governing a multidisciplinary system. This experience is hosted in our Omron Advanced Automation Lab, a state-of-the-art learning laboratory co-created with industry to develop the next generation of industrial automation, manufacturing and supply chain leaders.
This program is a good fit for any high schooler interested in engineering, and has the closest connections to mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer engineering.
Note: experience in algebra is required.
Biomedical Engineering Bootcamp: the Intersection of Biology, Medicine and Technology
July 31 - August 2 | 9:00a.m. to 12:30p.m. | $225 registration fee (scholarships available!)
Simulate injuries on a test dummy to measure impact force. Track your own muscle activity using real sensors, and use them to control other devices by customizing an algorithm. Experiment with blood flow using artificial vessels and arteries. Do all this and more to discover the multiple avenues of biomedical engineering through hands-on experiments and challenges in biomechanics, bioelectronics and biocomputing. This Experience will showcase the many ways a biomedical engineer uses technology to deliver life-changing solutions to real patients.
This program is a good fit for any high schooler interested in engineering, and has the closest connections to biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer engineering and electrical engineering. Students with a special interest in biology and healthcare are encouraged to enroll.
Registration full. Join waitlist via registration below.
Steel Breakers & Data Makers: Introduction to Materials Testing and Data Analysis
August 5 - 7 | 9:00a.m. to 12:30p.m. | $225 registration fee (scholarships available!)
Join hands-on testing of steel, wood and concrete and collect data from each bend, break and strain. Then dive into Excel to plot this data and explore concepts of Youngs modulus, moments of inertia and stress/strain relationships. This Experience provides an opportunity to use real instrumentation and software alongside Marquette engineers in our Engineering and Materials and Structural Testing Lab.
This program is a good fit for any high schooler interested in engineering, and has the closest connections to civil engineering, construction engineering and mechanical engineering. Personal laptops are recommend for students participating in this experience. If you do not have a laptop, the College of Engineering will provide you with access to one during the program.
Note: experience in algebra is required.
Adaptive Car Build Week with Go Baby Go! Milwaukee
August 5 - 9 | 9:00a.m. to 12:30p.m. | $375 registration fee (scholarships available!)
Ready to use your skills to #BeTheDifference for children in our community? Join the engineers behind Go Baby Go! Milwaukee to help modify ride-on cars for children who experience limited mobility. Students will learn about electrical circuits so they can design a real Go Baby Go! car circuit.
Participants will learn the principles, tools and skills behind electrical modifications, then put them into practice on real Go Baby Go! cars that will be given to local families. In addition to working alongside Marquette engineers, participants will hear from Physical and Occupational Therapists from Children's Wisconsin.
This program is a good fit for any high schooler interested in engineering, and has the closest connections to biomedical engineering, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering.
