Summer Engineering Experiences at UD (SEE-UD)

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.

Cost
Our camp is $100.00 per day. Are you interested in multiple days? You’ll receive a $25 discount for each additional day (attending 2 days: $175 total, attending 3 days: $250 total).

All camp registrations are final and non-refundable.

Limited financial assistance is available for eligible students. If you or your child would like to learn more about financial assistance, please email engineeringcamps@udayton.edu.

Dates
Each date will cater to specific engineering disciplines. If two camps are offered on the same day, these camps will run at the same time. Students will not be able to attend both camp themes at the same time.

Monday, June 16 Camps
Mechanical Engineering - Solving the World’s Problems Through Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineering is a broad discipline that studies how machines and systems move through analyzing forces, kinematics, materials and more. Transform into a mechanical engineer for the day to design components that help a rover traverse rocky terrains on Mars. Perform an aerodynamics experiment with wind turbine designs to measure the amount of power they can generate. Learn about the engineering design process, identify a challenge that our world faces today and collaborate to develop and pitch your solution.

Chemical Engineering - Food Engineering: From Idea to Product Design to Production
Chemical engineers play a crucial role in food engineering by applying principles of engineering, chemistry and biology to optimize food production, enhance food quality, design new products and flavors and ensure food safety. In this hands-on laboratory, discover how chemical engineers apply fundamental principles of transport phenomena, thermodynamics and reaction kinetics to food processing and production. In this module, students will learn about careers in the food and beverage industry, biotechnology and sustainable manufacturing.

Engineering Technology - The Future of Manufacturing
Manufacturing has been around for hundreds of years, but how can we leverage current technology to make products better and faster? Learn how engineers use technology to optimize manufacturing processes and create more efficient, sustainable and serviceable products. Learn how industrial automation and process changes can make important impacts. Discover how improving engineering processes improves both the quality of the product and the conditions for the workers that make them.

Electrical and Computer Engineering - Electronic Circuits: The Key to Advancements in Technology
We use technology every day, all of which is made possible because of electronic components designed and developed by electrical and computer engineers. Learn more about how technology around you functions through hands-on modules to build breadboard circuits and learn about how speakers and microphones work. Discover how bioengineering, the combination of engineering and the medical field, uses circuits and sensors to monitor and measure important health information.

Civil Engineering - Civil Engineering and Urban Infrastructure: Beyond Buildings
From designing bridges and high-rise buildings to considering environmental impacts, civil engineers are critical to the creation and improvement of infrastructure. Discover how civil engineers play a role in transportation, water resources and geological resources that keep our cities running smoothly. Employ virtual reality techniques to explore civil engineering materials and job sites, as well as participate in a filtration project to learn how we maintain the resource-bedrock of civilization — clean water.
