Courses

In this camp, students are going to learn about the exciting field of Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning and its theiitsious applications. Students will have a chance to learn how to use Python programming and Deep Learning to make predictions for Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. I highly encourage the students who have taken some programming classes to attend this summer camp.

We know engineers design things-- cars, airplanes, bridges, computers... but who designs the processes, systems, and methods involved in getting those products to the end user? Industrial engineers are concerned with the people and the processes involved in manufacturing and service. Come learn about the systems and processes involved in the design of an amusement park through fun, hands-on activities. You'll even be able to take home some souvenirs! This camp is being offered to encourage and support the growth of girls in engineering.

In this camp, students are going to learn about the basic electric terminology, the physics behind the semiconducting material, how the electrons are moving in the solar cell. Students will have a chance to work with solar cells to make a small solar panel, so students will get a chance to work with soldering and heat gun. Students will learn how much it is going to cost to install a solar energy system in their homes. Students are going to work on the Alternative Energy snap circuit Kit and some other solar STEM educational kits that allow students to develop safely and easily deal with electronic projects. We may visit a 10kW solar energy system installed at John Bardo Center on campus.

Students and teams interested in competing in an unofficial, pre-season 2023-24 VEX competition scrimmage should register for this one-day VRC, middle school event.  The cost is $20 per team and will not have any skills or judging.  Plan to attend with a Hero Bot, or even a basic clawbot design.  Get a chance to practice your scoring strategies and driving skills.  

A water flow is essential to daily living, engineering, environment, and food production systems to name a few. The water flow is influenced by various things including pressure, temperature, tube size, surface structure, wettability, and gravity. In this summer camp, students will learn basic knowledge of water flow including relevant scientific terminologies, and water flows control methods while working on a series of hands-on science experiments. The students will also get a chance to build and test a basic water flow control system working toward engineering environmental systems. This summer camp is open to the public who is interested in the STEM fields.

Traditional manufacturing involves the formative and subtractive methods that need several stages and costly production, which constraints the capacity of the manufacturing in the industry. Moreover, these conventional methods don't consider complex systems that are frequently needed in biomedical designs and applications. In this summer camp, the high school students will get to know additive manufacturing techniques and their applications in many industries. Students will design 3D objects (e.g., scaffold, hydrogel, and nanofabrication), convert them into code, and print them. From idea to complete biomedical structure will unleash students' creativity and innovation.

Multifunctional Nanofibers are considered to be the next generation of membrane systems for environmental remediation and water purification. Their pore sizes can be as small as 10 nm to filter out all the pathogens and most of the physical particles, such as toxic materials and heavy metals. In this camp, the participants will learn about how to make Nanomembrane systems and integrate them into wastewater filtration. The students will have hands-on experiences and gain some insight into the new development in the field.
