About Summer Engineering Camp

You will participate in interactive lab and classroom activities in both mechanical and civil engineering. These subject areas are degree programs offered at Purdue University Northwest.

You will:

• Discover clean energy sources and environmental protection methods
• Learn Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and 3D printing

…and many more!

Interaction with our current PNW engineering students and faculty will allow you to ask questions, get answers, and help be prepared for college. The camp will cover practical engineering topics, including 3D printing, renewable energy, bridge/road designing, virtual reality and electric cars. Students will gain hands-on experience building a basal wood bridge, cardboard wind tunnel and EV go-cart.

Daily Schedule

Sessions and activities will be developed for middle school and high school students. Sessions will rotate each day through different engineering areas and topics. Camp certificates will be presented at the end of the week during a closing ceremony on Friday afternoon.
