Engineering Saturdays
During the school year, the College hosts Engineering Saturdays for students aged pre-K through high school. These free activities combine engineering presentations with hands-on activities.
Summer Programs
The College of Engineering hosts several summer camps for students from grade 4 through newly graduated high school students. The camps are designed to be fun and educational experiences with a broad exposure to a variety of engineering disciplines, plus related topics in chemistry, physics, and/or math. Field trips to see engineering at work at area businesses and team projects supplement the classroom activities and hands-on experiences.
Entry to Engineering
A team of engineering professors and graduate and undergraduate students from all of UTA’s engineering departments present material from all of UTA’s engineering disciplines – aerospace, biomedical, civil, computer science, electrical, industrial, materials science, and mechanical.
There are also special presentations by professors in related fields and instruction on technical writing and presentations.
Cost to attend this 5-day camp: $350.00 (Scholarships are available.) Dates: Not yet scheduled

Girlgineering
This one-week day camp will introduce middle school young women to the field of engineering by showing how engineering is connected to personal issues, social concerns, and community interests.
By conveying engineering concepts in a more personal, social and community-oriented context and introducing them to middle school girls, we will show how engineers connect, communicate, and improve the world. Campers will experience faculty presentations and lectures, lab tours, field trips, hands-on activities.
