Science - Engineering
Engineering
This week-long adventure into Engineering is for students who love science, letting them explore possible career paths in Engineering. Students will experience engineering from Universities to industry leaders.
Day 1: Buckeyes
Students will tour Ohio State University, with a special tour of the School of Engineering’s laboratories. Students will learn about cutting edge research in computer and mechanical engineering as well as artificial intelligence. We will explore the different career paths in higher education within the School of Engineering. Students will walk away with a taste of college life and the opportunities that lay before them.
That evening we will explore the Center for Science and Industry which highlights where science, engineering and innovation meet social progression. Students will explore how innovation has shaped our culture over the past 126 years.
Day 2: Ford Motor Co.
Students will tour the factory line floor at Ford Motor Company. We will explore how engineering, robotics, and automation are changing the future of manufacturing in our country.
In the afternoon, students will tour the University of Michigan’s School of Engineering. Students will explore their cutting edge facility that is used by Ford Motor Company in engineering and designing the future of electric vehicles.
Day 3: Universal Robotics
Today starts with a tour of The Henry Museum. This museum was designed by Henry Ford and focuses on design and innovation. From the Wright Brothers bicycle shop where they designed the powered man flight over 100 years ago to Thomas Edison’s laboratory where he harnessed electricity.
After lunch, we will tour Universal Robotics and explore how their engineers are pushing the boundaries of mechanical engineering. Students will interact with the engineers and get hands-on experience in robotics.
Day 4: NASA Glenn Research Center
Students will tour the research facility and have the opportunity to explore how engineers are designing the next generation spacecraft, Artemis, to land a woman and person of color on the moon. Students will hear directly from NASA researchers and engineers working at the research facility.
Students will then tour the Cleveland Cliffs steel manufacturing facility. Students will meet engineers who are designing innovative methods to manufacture stronger steel. Students will see first hand what careers in engineering look like by this industry leader.
