Posted on September 15th, 2009 by als
WE Connect is designed for admitted high school women and their parents or guardians who wish to learn more about the UT Austin Cockrell School of Engineering. Current engineering students answer questions and provide advice while participants tour the Women Engineers in LittlefielD (WELD) program. The program is free and occurs during Explore UT, The University of Texas at Austin’s annual open house.

Your Opportunities are Unlimited at The University of Texas at Austin (YOU@UT)! YOU@UT is a program for high school senior women who wish to discover how engineering can impact the world and benefit society. YOU@UT provides an opportunity to:
A rigorous and fast-paced 4-week residential summer program that introduces female high school students to college-level material in electrical engineering and computer science or in mechanical engineering in the summer after 11th grade. Selected participants should excel in advanced math and science but have no prior experience in engineering or computer science. Our goal is to spark girls’ interest in engineering and computer science, making them aware of their potential for success in these fields. Hundreds of students apply from around the country; we choose 40 for EECS and 20 for ME. Classes are taught by female MIT graduate and undergraduate students and do not earn academic credit. Application forms are available on the website in November for the following summer and are due January 15th.
Camp CAEN is a high-tech computer camp offered by the University of Michigan College of Engineering. Knowledgeable staff, including enthusiastic engineering student mentors, teach classes that range from C#/C++/Java Programming to Website Design and 2D/3D Modeling.
The College of Engineering will host this annual scholarship competition on Friday, November 13, 2009 for academically talented high school students in the U.S.A. who are interested in one of the engineering majors – aerospace, biological computer, electrical, industrial, manufacturing, and mechanical engineering as well as computer science.The Wallace Scholar program is designed to support students with four-year scholarships to aide them in successfully completing the engineering program and meeting their goal of a career in engineering.
