Engineering and Computer Science Summer Camps 2008
2008 Summer Programs: Entry / Gateway / Bridge
The University of Texas at Arlington College of Engineering
The Engineering and Computer Science Camps are one week camps designed to provide students with a broad exposure to the variety of engineering disciplines -- aerospace, biomedical, civil & environmental, computer science, electrical, materials science and mechanical -- plus related topics in chemistry and physics. Field trips to see engineering at area businesses and team projects supplement the classroom activities. Each session is limited to 50 students. The Bridge and Gateway camps are residential camps and the Entry camp is a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. day camp with a Sunday evening orientation session and a Friday evening awards session. The program fees cover a participant's meals, housing (if applicable), insurance, project materials and activities.

The UT Arlington Engineering and Computer Science Summer Camp participants also visit area companies to see engineering in action. Field trips have ranged from viewing the inner engineering of Bass Hall in Fort Worth to visiting the General Motors assembly line in Arlington to seeing the logistics process at the FedEx facility at Alliance Airport to getting a tour of the LEED certified “green” facilities at Sabre Holdings.
