Engineering and Aviation Summer Academy

About the Academy

The 2013 Engineering and Aviation Summer Academy will focus on sustainability. This year’s Academy took place on June 9-13, 2013. Rising high school seniors participated in the five-day, four-night sessions and learn about the latest technology and career paths in engineering and aviation.

Students worked together to complete a capstone project during the week and on the last day of the Academy, their families were invited to attend a luncheon during which students presented what they learned over the course of the week.

During the Academy, faculty and student mentors also guided students through hands-on activities in:

• aerospace and mechanical engineering
• aviation management
• flight science
• biomedical engineering
• civil engineering
• computer and electrical engineering
• physics

 Students also attended an off-campus group outing, take a flight in a Diamond DA-20 airplane and explore Saint Louis University.
