Engineering Programs Gear up for Summer The College of Engineering and the University are offering three separate summer experiences for high school students this summer. Plans are under way for the largest summer sessions ever. Introduction to Engineering Program The College’s Introduction to Engineering Program (IEP) is a three-week, interactive course designed to give students a taste of college life while also answering some very important questions about engineering: What is engineering? What does an engineer do? What are the different disciplines of engineering? And, what kinds of jobs are available for engineers? On a daily basis students in the IEP engage in hands-on projects involving technical issues drawn from a variety of engineering disciplines. They also interact with with professional engineers working in industry. At the end of the session, students may leave with a keen interest in a specific discipline. More important, over the course of the program, they will have gained an overview of the opportunities and disciplines available in engineering today. For details about the IEP, visit http://www.nd.edu/~iep. University Summer Experience 2002 Notre Dame also provides a summer session focusing on computer science and engineering. Offering a broad introduction to the field of computing, hands-on projects will introduce students to web development, artificial intelligence, computer design and architecture, information technology, software engineering, and computer theory.
