Engineering Physics Explorations
Commuter
Session 1: June 1-5
Session 2: June 8-12
During the summer of 2009, the Department of Engineering and Physics at the University of Central Oklahoma will offer two separate, five-day, non-residential sessions in engineering physics. Each session will be limited to 15 eighth-10th graders. Participants will learn about engineering and physics applications, such as mechanics, electronic instrumentation and robotics. Each participant will work in a team with two other students to complete projects and, using what they have learned, set their team in competition with other teams. A UCO engineering physics or biomedical engineering student will guide each team, while UCO engineering and physics faculty members will serve as instructors. In a series of lunchtime seminars, participants will hear presentations from area professionals about science and technology opportunities in Oklahoma, along with presentations from UCO faculty about new and exciting areas of engineering and physics.
