2021 Summer Institutes

We are offering 2 tracks for the virtual summer institutes - Engineering or Science. Each week is a themed week. Students can choose to participate one week or all four weeks in a specific track.

The Engineering Summer Institute (ESI) is a longstanding summer program designed to create an awareness of opportunities which exist in engineering science – particularly civil, electrical and mechanical engineering - and to stimulate an interest more generally in STEM.

The Science Summer Institute (SSI) is a unique concept that is designed to create an awareness of the vast opportunities which exist in science and to stimulate an interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).

Both institutes will broaden the access of students to STEM careers by exposing the participants to available options in an environment that facilitates intellectual exchange, academic enrichment, and fosters the learning, sharing, and growing processes.
