Community Outreach - College of Engineering and Science

Pre-college programs serve area youth

Each year, the College provides outreach programs to 4,000 students between 4th and 12th grade through Saturday classes, summer camps and exciting curriculum designed to motivate the next generation to consider careers in engineering and science. These programs include:

• DAPCEP (Detroit Area Pre-College Engineering Program), which introduces and fosters the interest of minority students in the fields of engineering and science;
• UNITE, a four-week nonresidential program for high school students designed to resemble a university freshman engineering curriculum; 
• STEPS (Science Technology Engineering Preview Summer camp), a one-week residential summer program for girls in the 9th to 11th grades;
• Technology Discovery Day to expose high school students to hands-on activities, displays and competitions in engineering and the sciences.
