Our dedicated engineering community works hard to provide ways for you to learn more about engineering through exciting and rewarding summer experiences and special programs. Join us!

Visit Campus
The best way to understand our passion, innovation and community is to experience it yourself.
High School Students
- Explore Engineering
Fall and spring, high school students join us for a Saturday on the University of Dayton campus to explore engineering the hands-on way! - Extra Exploring
Would you like to attend Extra Exploring prior to our fall or spring Explore Engineering program? Meet faculty, staff and students and learn how the School of Engineering fosters a diverse community. - Project Lead the Way
You can receive two credits at the University of Dayton by completing four high school Project Lead the Way courses. - Summer Engineering Experiences at the University of Dayton (SEE-UD) (during the summer semester)
High school students join us for a summer engineering experience(s) where you'll interact with engineering faculty, staff and students, design robots, solve engineering problems and network with professional engineers. You choose from a variety of programs. - University of Dayton Open House Events and Engineering Information
Will you be attending one of UD's Open House events this fall? Then, plan to attend our special presentation beforehand and discover why engineering at UD is unique.
Middle School and Third Grade Students
- Pick-Up-and-Go Engineering Activities for Middle School Students
For middle school students, grab a “pick-up-and-go” engineering activity module that can be used for a one-time learning experience or for an on‐going after school engineering club or event. - STEM Stories for Third Grade Students
For third grade students, these lessons introduce STEM disciplines through real-life scenarios in a fun way! - Girls Creating with STEAM Camp
Girls Creating with STEAM is a fun, hands-on day camp for girls entering 6th grade in the fall. This camp will introduce girls to different types of engineering and will allow them to work in teams to innovate, create and problem solve.
International Students
- Would you like to earn three University of Dayton credits in two weeks?
The School of Engineering Summer Innovation Course for International Students is a two-week program where international students can experience American culture, learn engineering skills, earn three University of Dayton credits and waive their English proficiency requirement.
Teachers
- STEM Teachers: Inspire The Next Generation
If you are a high school science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) teacher, join us this summer and collaborate with faculty, researchers, and students and participate in our NSF-sponsored program. Enjoy hands-on STEM learning and real-world engineering research focused on human centered design and appropriate technology.
