This weeklong program is designed to introduce high school students to electrical engineering. Students will participate in two hands-on electrical engineering projects and interactive mathematics laboratory projects.

Camp Overview

Students will discuss electrical circuit design and assembly. Students will then apply what they’ve learned by building their own electronic products.

The students will build their own AM radio and electronic musical keyboard trainer. With these projects, students will explore principles of:

Electrical engineering
Simple circuits/voltage/amperage
Analog/digital circuits
Mathematical concepts
Assembly of electronics

The students will work with engineering professors to build the AM radio and the electronic musical keyboard trainer. Through classroom instruction and laboratory resources, students will gain the knowledge and skills to complete electrical engineering projects.

Who should attend?

This camp is open to high school students with interests in science and math and those considering electrical engineering or computer engineering as possible college majors.
