Engineering Innovation offers several different courses for high school students:
Course Overviews Explore Engineering Innovation (EEI), formerly called Engineering Innovation, is an exciting, college-level, summer program for motivated high school students with an aptitude in math and science and an interest in (or curiosity about) engineering. Students complete hands-on projects in a variety of engineering disciplines (civil, electrical/computer, chemical, materials, and mechanical) and learn to think and problem-solve like engineers. Participating students have the opportunity to earn Johns Hopkins University (JHU) credit. By applying their knowledge of math and science to labs and hands-on projects, the concepts they’ve learned in their high school classrooms are linked to real-world practice. Additionally, their confidence grows as they attend college-level lectures, solve problems, test theories and ultimately learn to think like engineers. Of our Engineering Innovation alumni, more than 80% have gone on to major in engineering or science. Biomedical Engineering Innovation (BMEI) is a fully online course offered year-round that introduces biomedical engineering concepts to high school students. Participants in this course model biological systems and design experiments to test their models and use engineering principles to solve design problems that are biological, physiological, and/or medical. Students will model human efficiency, the arm, and the cardiovascular system. They use the content they learned in high school math, physics, and biology to solve practical problems encountered in biomedical engineering.

Joint Science Education ProjectThe Joint Science Education Project (JSEP) is an international collaboration between Greenland, the United States, and Denmark to educate and train the next generation of polar and STEM professionals. Since its initiation during the International Polar Year in 2007, high school students and teachers from the three countries work together during a 3-week field course in Greenland to study polar environments and the human dimensions of rapid Arctic change. Students practice scientific and engineering methods in a cross cultural outdoor classroom with mentoring from international teachers and scientists. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has prevented the U.S. team from safely traveling to Greenland. Instead, we have designed a hybrid remote and in-person experience with U.S. students participating remotely and students from Greenland and Denmark participating in JSEP from Kangerlussuaq, Greenland. Highlights of remote JSEP :
APPLICATION DEADLINE: January 31, 2022 Contact Information: Lauren Culler, JSEP PI Institute of Arctic Studies at Dartmouth College [email protected] (603) 646-8265 ENvision is a virtual summer learning program for rising seniors, juniors, and sophomores around the state of Colorado. Students interested in exploring engineering are invited to apply.
Participants will have materials sent to better engage in virtual sessions offered by the Walter Scott, Jr College of Engineering. Additionally, students will benefit from connecting with assigned mentors who are current engineering students. The virtual program will run once a week between June 17 - July 8, 2021. Please submit your application by April 30, 2021 for full consideration. If you have any questions, please contact [email protected]. We hope to connect with you for ENVision! Interested in engineering? Curious about the field of Materials Science? ASM's Materials Camp is made for you! This year, ASM is offering the camp virtually and they will be sending you an awesome lab kit so that you'll be able to do some amazing science and engineering from the comfort of your couch!
This camp is designed for rising Juniors and Seniors. If you are interested in applying, Ms. Dykstra is happy to help you fill out the application. The Summer Multicultural Engineering Training (SUMMET) is a science and engineering program designed for rising juniors and seniors who are from underrepresented populations, including ethnic minorities, women and students from the states of Colorado and Oklahoma.
SUMMET combines course work, hands-on projects, industry tours, sporting activities and social events. This program provides exposure to the lifestyle, opportunities and challenges of college to help build skills and experiences for a smooth transition in the future. SUMMET students stay in Mines’ residence halls, experience life as a college student and participate in STEM related curriculum instruction. This program is available at no cost to the student, however, transportation to and from Mines is not yet available. We have six SUMMET Program opportunities:
