A Survey of Engineering

College Is Too Expensive for Guesswork.

Help your teen test-drive engineering before choosing a college major. In one month, they’ll explore multiple engineering disciplines, and discover where their curiosity and skills truly fit.

Most students pick a college major before they truly know what the field involves. Our Survey of Engineering course lets your teen explore six branches of modern engineering so they can find their path with confidence before college begins.

Pre-Req: Have taken a physical science course and be at least enrolled in precalculus

Don’t Let Your Teen Pick an Engineering Major Blindly

Most students choose a major based on limited high-school exposure then change course in college, wasting valuable time and tuition.

Our Survey of Engineering camp helps teens explore multiple branches of engineering in a structured, guided way so families make confident, informed decisions before college begins.

  • Clarity before college: Explore six major engineering pathways to discover what truly fits your teen’s strengths and interests.

  • Real-world insight: Understand how engineering principles power everything from energy and transportation to computing and healthcare.

  • College-ready advantage: Gain unique exposure that helps students write stronger essays and stand out in interviews.

  • Guided by experts: Learn from award-winning educators who make complex engineering concepts clear, engaging, and relevant.

A Guided Tour of Engineering—One Month, Four Deep-Dives

Session For Survey of Engineering:

Session 1:  Core Foundations (Mechanical & Electrical)
