Santa Clara University School of Engineering

This special summer experience is for current high school sophomores and juniors who are interested in exploring the field of engineering. The program is designed to acquaint participants with the engineering profession, the academic expectations of college, and the nature of life at a university.

The School of Engineering at Santa Clara University is pleased to present a Fall offering of our new Virtual Engineering Seminar (VES) program. This program allows students to engage with the School of Engineering community and participate in various panel discussions and activities facilitated by our students and faculty. Topics will include: Bioengineering, Civil, Environmental and Sustainable Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, General Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. The goal of this program is to provide students with a chance to explore the broad possibilities of engineering as a career with the hope of fostering a deeper interest in future engineering study. The program is open to all high school students. Our program’s format and eligibility criteria are designed to suit students with little prior engineering exposure. The Virtual Engineering Seminar (VES) program is geared toward students who have not yet committed to future engineering study and who have had minimal exposure to engineering topics. Due to the high level of student interest, acceptance into this program has become highly competitive. Program Details: Selected participants will join us on Zoom over the course of two Sundays (October 11 & October 18) from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. to participate in specially designed interactive panel discussions and breakout sessions, spanning several fields and areas of engineering. Students will need an authenticated Zoom account. There is no cost to participate in this virtual program. If you are interested in attending, please fill out the VES Student Application Form by 5:00 p.m. PDT on Friday, September 25, 2020
