REGISTRATIONS BEING ACCEPTED FOR IDAHO ENGINEERING SCIENCE CAMP

Registrations are being accepted for the fifth annual Idaho Engineering Summer Camp for students entering ninth or 10th grade next fall.

Approximately 40 future engineers from Idaho and other states will participate in an exciting weeklong adventure into engineering and science on the Boise State University campus. Sponsored by the Boise State College of Engineering, IESC 2001 will be held from June 10-15.

Throughout the week the students will participate in a variety of events. Hands-on-activities and engineering projects will focus on self-discovery, critical thinking and problem solving with an emphasis on communication and teamwork. Students will work in groups in computer, experimental and design laboratories of the College of Engineering. Participants will have an opportunity to experience the campus, work with faculty and learn about college life as well as career planning.

In addition to Boise State University, the program is sponsored by many corporations in the Treasure Valley. The cost of the engineering science camp is $350. Scholarships will be made available for qualified participants.

The faculty program director is Joseph Sener, professor of civil engineering. For more information, contact assistant program director, Leandra Aburusa at 426-4432 (e-mail: laburusa@boisestate.edu.)
