Students have the opportunity to earn an industry-recognized Certified SolidWorks™ Associate (CSWA) certification on the final day of the program.
The Colorado School of Mines Engineering Design Summer Program offers high school students in grades 10-12 a 5-day immersive experience in authentic engineering design practices. Participants engage in hands-on projects and team-building activities on the Mines campus. The curriculum focuses on developing 3D design skills using SolidWorks™ software, a computer-based tool for parametric modeling and visualization. Students learn to create parts and assemblies, bringing their conceptual ideas to life. The program aims to guide students through the iterative design process, emphasizing problem definition, critical thinking, and collaborative project management. On the final day, students have the opportunity to take the Certified SolidWorks™ Associate (CSWA) exam, an industry-recognized certification that can be beneficial for those pursuing engineering careers. The camp is designed to support and improve 3D design skills and problem-solving abilities, making it ideal for students interested in science, technology, engineering, and math.
Students gather for classroom activities and workshops, typically from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with breaks and lunch in between. They work in groups on a main design project and engage in mini-workshop projects.
This program is best for high school students in grades 10-12 who are interested in science, technology, engineering, and math and want to develop their 3D design and problem-solving skills.
