Upward Bound

The MAE Center has partnered with UIUC WaterCAMPWS and the U.S. Department of Education-funded Upward Bound College Preparatory Program to participate in a summer engineering internship program for area high school students. Upward Bound students interested in pursuing a career in engineering participate in a six-week internship which exposes participants to the various disciplines within engineering via lectures, lab tours, and hands-on activities. MAE graduate students gave a tour and demonstration for the upward bound students.
