HU Invites 10th Graders to Explore the 'Business of Engineering'


and Co-Director of the BOE program. “At times people like to do technical things like open a business, but they do not have the technical expertise. Tis program will help you learn and see that you can be an engineer and still do business.”


Te program is funded by the


Department of Energy and managed by the HU School of Engineering and the HU School of Business.


HAMPTON, Va. – Te Hampton


University Business of Engineering summer program is currently accepting applications for its two-week program from June 18-June 30, 2018. Tis program is for rising high school 10th graders.


Te Business of Engineering


program involves an immersion of engineering projects intertwined with business practice. Te program aims to stimulate interest in engineering and business by demonstrating the interdependence of engineering and business in making real-world choices, introducing engineering methodology as a means of problem-solving, exposing students to the entertaining, yet challenging world of engineering, and introducing students to cutting edge, computer-aided design soſtware used to solve day-to-day problems.


“Te main thing is really


exposure. Our hope is that students choose engineering or business. In the beginning, the primary focus was for them to see what engineering was about so they don’t just choose to go into an engineering field without knowing what the experience is like,” said Dr. Otsebele Nare, Hampton University Assistant Professor


of Electrical Engineering Over the course of two


weeks, students learn to engage in collaborative problem solving through interactive fun activities. Professional skills that include public speaking and oral presentation, along with significant teamwork, are also emphasized throughout the camp.
