How do we do it?

Organized in a ten day session on campus at The University of San Diego, IEEE TryEngineering Summer Institute unites students from around the world – co-ed, between 13-17 years old – to:

  • Engage in hands-on design challenges
  • Experience the work firsthand with behind-the-scenes tours with real-life engineers
  • Discover not just what's happening today, but what's coming tomorrow, through conversations with renowned guest speakers and incredible Summer Institute counselors
  • Create a future of possibility that is fully realized and present for each and every student
  • Build skills and conceptual knowledge through hands-on work doing design challenges and classwork building and creating projects of increasing difficulty
  • Each student is issued a program-owned laptop for each student to use for the duration of the program at a 1:1 ratio

Give us ten days at our engineering summer camp, and we'll give you a new definition of what it means to be an engineer.

The University of San Diego is located at 5998 Alcala Park San Diego, CA 92110 and can be found HERE.
