The Summer Engineering Academy is a series of weeklong residential camps held on the University of Arizona campus for students passionate about engineering and science. This is a great opportunity to explore engineering careers, get to know the University of Arizona, and meet lifelong friends.

Students are welcome to attend multiple interdisciplinary and major-specific programs during the same summer.

Work on design challenges and projects with UA professors and students in engineering labs.
Use facilities such as wind tunnels, circuit fabrication labs, materials processing labs, and mining simulators.
Develop engineering skills in 3-D CAD software, aerodynamics, electrical design, structural analysis, and more.
Relax and enjoy evening activities at the Student Rec Center, Flandrau Science Center, and the Steward Observatory Mirror Lab.
Live in a residence hall and dine at the Student Union with UA Engineering students.
Build friendships and relationships with current and future UA Wildcats!
