The camp provides a unique college environment experience on the UNC Charlotte campus, with instruction led by K-12 licensed teachers and support from camp counselors.
The UNC Charlotte Pre-College Engineers Summer Camp, in conjunction with the William States Lee College of Engineering, offers high school students an immersive program to explore engineering. Participants will delve into the engineering design process, learning how real engineers approach challenges through ideation, prototyping, testing, and refinement. The camp emphasizes hands-on engineering challenges and design projects, allowing students to apply theoretical concepts to practical scenarios, such as building bridges or constructing electrical circuits. This collaborative environment fosters teamwork, communication, and critical thinking skills. Students will gain insights into diverse engineering majors and career paths from faculty and industry professionals, and get a preview of college-level coursework to boost their confidence for future engineering studies. The program aims to equip aspiring engineers with in-demand skills and knowledge for success in post-secondary engineering programs.
Instructional hours are typically from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with optional extended supervised hours available from 7:30 AM to 8:40 AM and 4:15 PM to 5:30 PM.
This camp is best for high school students passionate about building, problem-solving, and innovation, who want to explore engineering dreams and gain a competitive edge for future engineering studies.
