This five-week residential program on the campus of Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU) is for recently admitted transfer students from community colleges, who are majoring in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).  Participants in this program will have the opportunity to work on cutting edge research projects with outstanding faculty members from the Roy G. Perry College of Engineering and the Marvin and June Brailsford College of Arts & Sciences. Students will also earn one research credit hour for participating in the REU at no cost to the participant. The goal of this program is to provide students an opportunity to learn more about the research activities at PVAMU, introduce them to the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program, as well as graduate school opportunities at PVAMU and other universities.

Application Deadline: May 30, 2011.  Program dates July 07- Aug 05, 2011

 The Roy G. Perry College of Engineering Enhancement Institute (CE2I) is an innovative and intensive summer bridge-to-college program designed to prepare students for the rigors of an Engineering, Computer Science, or Technology Curriculum and to aid with the transition between high school and college. The Institute is a five-week residential program, where participants will complete coursework in Math, Science, Technology, and Professional Development Activities. The Institute is math intensive. A math assessment test will be administered initially to determine the appropriate math placement. The program goal is to achieve a mastery of one math level higher than the student placed when he/she entered the program. The program will also introduce students to basic concepts in chemistry, physics, and computing. Students will experience professional development activities including field trips to area engineering and technology industries; personal and professional development seminars and workshops (i.e. time management, study skills, learning style inventories, effective use of study groups and seven (7) habits of successful people).

The Summer Transportation Institute (STI) caters to rising 11th and 12th grade students (completed 10th or 11th grade by Summer). The 2010 STI is redesigned with a new sponsor, The University Center for Transportation Mobility (http://utcm.tamu.edu).  The new STI is a two-week, on-campus, learning opportunity for a diverse group of high school students. The program provides experiences for these students to enhance their awareness of career opportunities that exist in the engineering and transportation industry. The curriculum exposes students to new frontiers and adventures such as highway design, the transportation of people and cargo, intermodal (involving more than one form) transportation, safety, environmental issues and related career opportunities. Approximately 15-18 students receive a scholarship that covers the cost for participating in the STI program. The cost for participation is approximately $2,000 and the scholarship covers the entire cost, thus making the program free for the selected participants. 

Application Deadline: May 20, 2011. Program Dates: June 6  THRU July 01, 2011

This is a week-long resident program for middle school students, male and female, who are interested in the field of Engineering.  Students admitted to program will learn about engineering through hands-on activities, experiments and laboratory tours.  The students will work in teams to solve engineering problems.  In addition, the students will also learn how to succeed in College. The mission of the SEEC Program is to introduce students to engineering, strengthen their mathematics, skills, and motivate the students to succeed in College.  The students will also experience college life by living in the dormitory, staying on campus for a week, living with roommate, interacting with College students, and being part of a collegiate environment. The program will:

1- Provide multicultural experiences and academic enrichment activities.
2- Teach about contributions of scientists and inventors of under-represented groups.
3- Build self-confidence and self-esteem.

Program Dates (revised): June 26- July 01, 2011

Program Orientation: June 25, 2011

Program Graduation: July 01, 2011

The ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp (BHSSC) is a free, academic program of The Harris Foundation, which takes an active role in shaping education in students entering grade 6, 7, or 8 in the fall of 2009. Science, technology, engineering and mathematics are critical to society’s infrastructure for the 21st century and preserving that future requires an investment, such as the BHSSC, in our youth today. This camp program was originally developed as a collaborative effort of the Harris Foundation, the Houston Independent School District, the University of Houston (UH) and the Southwestern Oklahoma State University (SWOSU), designed to support historically underserved and underrepresented students with limited opportunities.
