Participants learn about exciting engineering concepts at MEP's Summer Engineering Workshops.

The Summer Engineering Workshop (SEW) programs were developed in 1976 with the objective of increasing the pool of interested and qualified students choosing to pursue engineering study – especially in the College of Engineering at Purdue University.


Each summer, two one-week engineering workshops are hosted on the Purdue West Lafayette campus for select, high-potential students who have just completed the sixth or seventh grades (Week 1) and eighth grade (Week II).

Participants are recommended for participation by their school counselor, math or science teacher. Until the Summer of 1984, the program was limited to eighth grade underrepresented students of color enrolled in targeted junior high schools from the state of Indiana. Due to additional financial support and the urgent need to reach students from these populations at an earlier age, the program was expanded to include sixth graders, as well as students from several cities throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.

Participation in these summer engineering workshops is generally the students’ first exposure to the field of engineering, to higher education, to college life, and to the opportunities they afford. Workshop activities generally consist of hands-on engineering-related projects; tours of the general campus as well as engineering laboratories and facilities; discussions with engineering students and professionals who serve as role models and who may potentially become mentors; presentations from and disussions with counseling professionals on the importance of enrolling in the appropriate junior and senior high school courses in preparation for technical studies at the college level; and introductory 'Life-Planning' sessions, which cover topics such as goal-setting, values exploration and claricfication, along with time-management and study skills techniques.
