    Overview

    Unsure exactly which field of engineering sparks a student's interest? That’s the point of EEI—this program offers students an option to explore a variety of engineering pathways. With EEI, students learn to think creatively, build boldly, and solve problems like a real engineer. And students can earn three college credits from Johns Hopkins University—ranked No.7 among national universities and No.13 in best undergrad engineering programs by U.S. & World News Report

    More than a summer of projects, EEI is a student's chance to dive into what it means to problem-solve like an engineer. Through interactive projects, they'll tackle hands-on challenges that bring engineering concepts to life. Working in small teams, they'll strengthen critical thinking and communication skills that prepare them for college and beyond. As they explore multiple engineering disciplines, they'll see how they intersect and gain real insight into potential majors and career paths—helping them make confident, informed decisions about their future in engineering.

    This program is available as a summer hybrid, residential, commuter, or online program.

    Academic Prerequisites

    • As and Bs in high school math and science classes
    • Completed Algebra II
    • Completed a course where the trigonometric functions are taught. They must be able to use sine, cosine, tangent, and the Pythagorean Theorem to determine angles and side lengths for right-angle triangles.
    • Completed a full year of high school chemistry and/or physics, including a lab. Many students feel that knowledge of physics is particularly helpful for the course. (A score of 4 or 5 on the AP Chemistry or AP Physics 1 exam may be used instead of the high school chemistry or physics requirement.)
