The Engineering OnRamp (EO) serves as a pathway for pre-college students to discover engineering as a profession and choose Michigan Engineering as the place where they want to prepare for their future. We do this through summertime camps and year-round activities that help students:
- Explore a variety of engineering disciplines
- Expand their vision of what they can achieve, and
- Experience tackling real-world challenges at Michigan Engineering
