Engineering at Cambridge

Summer School at Cambridge University is a two-week inspiring and immersive residential summer experience held at a Cambridge University campus which targets high school students aged 15-18 years old from around the world. The programme is organised privately and run by a leading educational organization.

The curriculum is very enriching where the tutorials and seminars are facilitated by highly regarded tutors and the learning environment is optimal ideal in stimulating academic enquiry. The programme meets the academic needs of the students and also provides insights into the University life through the many extracurricular activities.

Engineering at a Cambridge University Summer School is a perfect course for those aspiring to study engineering at university. The course gives understanding on what the participants should expect while studying engineering at university. The topics explored gives the participants a taste of what modern engineering entails and prepares them in their areas of interest whether it is Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering.

This programme at the Summer School at Cambridge University explores different types of engineering. In Civil Engineering, the participants are provided with both practical and theoretical perceptions while designing and constructing structures like bridges, tall buildings, dams and reservoirs, power stations, ports, and transport systems among other structures.

The participants are also able to explore the challenges in areas such as energy and water management that future generations have to overcome thus giving them a better comprehension of Chemical and Environmental Engineering. This entails looking into the component s of modern and future processing of energy.

A study of Mechanical Engineering allows students to learn on how to apply scientific knowledge to solve problems and also design machines which lead to a sustainable society.

The participants at the programme are also engaged in skills workshops which help develop their lateral thinking and analysis skills which are essential for one to succeed in the discipline. The Interview Skills Workshops focus on developing confidence and the intellectual tenacity of the participants which is essential in tackling some questions which might be asked during interviews. The participants finish their course by having a competitive group project which entails designing a particular engineering structure. This helps the students in the application of the knowledge acquired during the course.

Participants are assisted to develop their personal statements which are required for access to universities around the globe. They are taught the techniques to concisely demonstrate their interest in a certain discipline.
