Future engineers engage in experiential learning at 秀色短视频鈥檚 Summer Experience in Engineering Camp
The College of Engineering and Polymer Science (CEPS) at 秀色短视频 recently concluded its annual Summer Experience in Engineering Camp, a five-day program designed to inform and inspire high school students about the many disciplines of engineering. The camp began on June 2 and wrapped up on June 6 with a closing ceremony where students shared their group reflections and received certificates in front of family and friends.
As one of several K-12 outreach efforts hosted by CEPS, the camp aims to foster early interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Throughout the week, students engaged in hands-on activities, interactive sessions and presentations led by university faculty, staff and industry professionals.
