The University of Idaho College of Engineering sponsors the annual Idaho Junior Engineering, Mathematics, and Science (JEMS) Summer Workshop for students who have completed their junior or senior year of high school. The focus of the workshop is to expose students to engineering problems within technical and social contexts, and to encourage them to enroll in college. This year, JEMS will include lectures and hands-on activities in Leadership, Engineering Design, Modeling, and possibly AutoCAD. Students will participate in lab exercises, field trips, computer exercises, and recreational activities.
The tuition for Idaho JEMS is $650. Scholarship funds are
available, including funds to encourage female and minority students to
apply.
Students requesting a scholarship should complete the financial aid portion
of the Idaho JEMS Application.
Participants experience the UI Campus--talking with professors and counselors,
learning about college life, and participating in career planning activities that
will help them become aware of high school course work needed to prepare for an engineering or
computer science career. Idaho JEMS students live on-campus
and are supervised by faculty and dorm counselors. Upon successful completion of
the workshop, students earn two college credits.
