MITE offers an immersive, affordable, five-day residential experience at a top-tier university, providing direct interaction with engineering educators and access to university facilities.
The My Introduction to Engineering (MITE) program is a five-day residential summer camp at The University of Texas at Austin designed for current high school juniors. Participants will delve into the world of engineering through collaborative team projects and hands-on activities. The program offers unique opportunities to engage with UT engineering faculty, students, staff, and alumni, providing an authentic glimpse into the experience of studying and pursuing a career in engineering. Students will gain practical experience, explore various engineering disciplines, and enhance their understanding of college life in a university setting. The goal is to spark interest in engineering and broaden participation in the field, particularly for students who have had limited access to STEM opportunities.
Students participate in group projects, hands-on activities, seminars, and lectures from morning to night, experiencing life in a campus residence hall.
The ideal student is a current high school junior residing in the United States with a strong interest in engineering, science, or mathematics, especially those who have overcome socio-economic challenges or had limited access to STEM opportunities.
