Summer Engineering Experiences

SEE-UD: Summer Engineering Experiences at the University of Dayton

The School of Engineering invites rising high school juniors (class of 2027) and seniors (class of 2026) to our Summer Engineering Experiences!

Participants will have the opportunity to learn about a specific engineering discipline from our faculty and using this knowledge to develop solutions for challenges our world faces today. Through engagement with current School of Engineering students and immersive, hands-on activities in our labs, participants will adopt new perspectives and skills used by engineers each day.

Our camps are day-long experiences. Students can register for multiple camps over our three days. Overnight accommodations are not provided as part of these day-long engineering experiences.
