The Future Engineers in Dynamic Systems (FEDS) Academy is a unique two-week summer educational program for junior and senior high school students in the Baltimore region. It focuses on dynamics, vibration, acoustics, and system control in the mechanical engineering discipline. The academy will consist of ten students and take place in the Dynamic Systems and Vibrations Laboratory (DSVL) and surrounding classrooms at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). Students will be exposed to the state-of-the-art research and facility in the DSVL and engaged in thought-provoking experiments and lectures led by undergraduate and graduate teaching fellows. They will learn how engineering activities can be used for the betterment of life.
