Fulton Summer Institute
Visit ASU and explore a world or career opportunities. See how engineering and technology relate to everyday life. In our project-based programs, you will be working with faculty in state-of-the-art laboratories. Challenge yourself to learn more about a specific engineering field.
During the Summer of 2008, the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering will be offering high school programs and junior high programs. During the programs, participants will find out more about the exciting fields of engineering and construction and the impact that these fields have on their lives. The programs will develop team-building skills, provide participants the opportunity to interact with current Fulton faculty, staff and students, and, in some of the programs involve tours of ASU laboratories and industry facilities. First time applicants will be given preference.
The following program summaries are intended to give a brief overview as to each program's type, target group, date(s), contact name and cost. For further information regarding any of these programs, please call or email the contact for the program you're interested in.
