~ Engineering Design & Production ~
Flowers High School

Dates:   June 16 - 20, 2007

For the summer of 2008, the MRSEC is partnering with Flowers High School

Welcome to the World of Engineering Design and Production! This camp is designed for students with an interest in engineering design and production. It focuses on the engineering processes including drawing and design, materials selection, and production processes. Students will work in teams on engineering problems. The camp will include:

Topics:

  • Fundamental of design and processes
  • Engineering materials: selection, processing, and cost consideration
  • Engineering reliability
  • Metal alloys and advanced composite materials
  • Materials testing and characterization

Hands-on Activities:

  • Drawing and design using basic hands tools and Computer Aided Drawing (CAD)
  • Mechanical strength testing using advanced tools and computer automated software
  • Materials processing including metal casting, forging, and making composite materials
  • Engineering design competition

This camp will also include an invited speaker by a MRSEC engineering faculty member and a tour to an engineering laboratory.

Students eligible for this camp must be in the pre-engineering program Project Lead the Way at Flowers High School.

Students, please talk to your teacher about registration information.
