How do we do it?

Organized in a ten day session on campus at The University of Pennsylvania, 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.

Vaughn College is located at 86-01 23rd Avenue Queens NY 11369 and can be found HERE.

Where have students gone on off-campus field trips in past summers? 

Behind the scenes tour of LaGuardia Airport. The airport, which has two new terminals in operation, is in the process of a multi-billion-dollar redevelopment initiative designed to transform the facility into an ultra-modern transportation hub for passengers. Completing a massive construction program while keeping this busy metropolitan airport operating involves intricate planning and execution. Students saw and got to meet first-hand from airport engineers what it takes to manage and operate the airport as well as the construction, tour some of the facilities and even visited the ramp to see the aircraft landing and taking-off.   

Behind the scenes tour of Con Edison's Main Power Plant in Manhattan. The students got to go inside the highly secure facility, meet the engineers, talk about their jobs, and see what it takes to power the greatest city on earth!

Future trips will be posted here as they are confirmed!
