The Fourth Annual Summer Civil Engineering Camp, July 13-17, 2008
Rising high school seniors are invited to apply for an intensive five-day summer Civil Engineering Camp offered by the Civil Engineering program at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) and sponsored by the Construction Industry Advancement Program of New Jersey (CIAP).
The intent of the camp is to motivate the most creative minds of a new generation of prospective civil engineers to become leaders for the construction industry in New Jersey. The program aims to create a community of students who participate in and contribute to an intensive academic experience delivered by distinguished educators and professionals.
Camp participants will be introduced through a five-day residential academic experience to the exciting field of civil engineering and will attend mini-courses on topics not traditionally taught in high schools such as bridge engineering, surveying, soil and concrete materials, hydrology, and more.
The participant will work with civil engineering students and professors, and interact with professionals from the construction Industry.
A Typical Day at Camp Includes:
- Interesting civil engineering sessions each morning and afternoon
- Hands-on surveying and laboratory testing of civil engineering materials facilitated by TCNJ faculty and students.
