Who decides?

This is a competitive application process. Students must have basic knowledge of algebra, chemistry, and physics and describe why they want to learn more about engineering and materials science as a possible college major and career.

Experienced practicing engineers review each application to select the “best and brightest”, highly motivated students who have not yet made a firm decision about a college major or career.

Students must have a strong interest in applied science.
Prior participation in science fairs is helpful, but not required.
