The program combines mechanical engineering theory with laboratory experimentation and prototype development, offering nine three-hour classes and exploration of specialist facilities like marine hydrodynamics and combustion physics laboratories.
The Summer Springboard Mechanical Engineering program at Georgia Tech offers high school students a practical introduction to mechanical engineering through hands-on learning. Participants will engage in laboratory experiments, prototype development, and collaborative design projects, connecting fundamental mechanics, thermodynamics, and structural principles with real-world engineering problems. The curriculum emphasizes developing skills in design, prototyping, data interpretation, and engineering problem-solving. Students will explore specialist facilities, including marine hydrodynamics and combustion physics laboratories, and gain insights into diverse industries such as robotics, aerospace, energy, and manufacturing. The program also includes career exploration and interaction with engineering professionals, providing a comprehensive pre-college experience.
During week one, students have class from 9am-12pm, Monday - Friday. During week two, students have class from 9am-12pm Monday through Thursday. Wednesday afternoons are dedicated to additional academic time (excursions, speakers).
Students who want to test their interest in mechanical engineering through practical labs, design projects, and career exploration before choosing a university pathway.
