Introduction to Engineering Program Hosts Mississippi Scholarship Students
Every summer the University of Notre Dame holds the Introduction to Engineering Program (IEP) for high school students interested in the field of engineering. The program introduces the students to the different fields of engineering in their three-week stay on campus. This past summer, Notre Dame, with a generous grant from Northrop Grumman Ship Systems, was able to sponsor seven high school students from Mississippi. Northrop Grumann paid for the students’ tuition while the University, through the Martell grant, was able to cover travel costs.

IEP is an annual program that brings talented high
school students to the University of Notre Dame to study various topics
in engineering. The students are exposed to all the departments within
the College of Engineering. They have the opportunity to meet faculty members
and to use Notre Dame’s
state-of-the-art facilities. IEP consists of daily lectures, hands-on design
projects, computer programming sessions, and field trips to local engineering
manufacturing facilities. Ramzi Bualuan, director
of undergraduate studies in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering,
leads the program.
The IEP program, which has been in existence for more than 25 years, brings
110 students to campus every summer. Many of these students later apply to
the University. In addition to the seven Mississippi scholarship winners,
many other students also received financial assistance to attend this program.
