Students gain practical, interdisciplinary engineering experience while living and learning on a prestigious university campus.
The National Student Leadership Conference (NSLC) Engineering program at the University of Pennsylvania offers high school students an immersive experience into various engineering disciplines. Participants engage in hands-on activities, workshops, and simulations that mirror real-world engineering challenges. Students gain practical skills in areas such as civil, mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering through projects like designing and building structures, programming robots, and developing sustainable solutions. The program emphasizes collaborative problem-solving and critical thinking, preparing students for future academic and career pursuits in STEM fields. Students also experience college life by living in supervised dormitories on the University of Pennsylvania campus.
A typical day involves a mix of interactive lectures, hands-on workshops, site visits, and collaborative team projects, often culminating in presentations or simulations of engineering solutions.
This program is ideal for high school students with a strong interest in STEM fields who want to explore diverse engineering disciplines and experience college life.
