Incoming first-year engineering and computer science students are encouraged to consider registering for the National Virtual Bridge (NVB) Program.

Through our partnership with NACME, UD students have access to this FREE 5-week virtual summer bridge experience that provides incoming first-year students with a rigorous and supportive environment that helps students build confidence, reinforce foundational skills and increase your potential for success in engineering and computer science disciplines. The experience includes:

• Virtual courses to make sure you are proficient in physics, pre-calculus/calculus, Python programming to ensure your success in these college level courses.
• An engineering design experience.
• Career exploration sessions.
• Professional and student development sessions .
• A $500 stipend to students who successful complete the program.*

Program Commitment

• To ensure students fully benefit from the experience, the NVB Program requires a commitment of 25–30 hours per week over five weeks*. Students should be prepared to participate fully and dedicate time outside of class to homework and content reinforcement.
