The University of Arkansas at Little Rock is hosting a FREE Engineering Scholars Program for current 8-11th graders interested in pursuing engineering from June 13 to June 19 in 2021. The program features academic and laboratory lessons on various engineering disciplines, including robotics, and it also has a one-week residential summer program for counseling and advising sessions to assist students in preparing for college. The objective of the program is to increase the number of students entering engineering programs in Arkansas through exposure to hands-on engineering projects, plant trips, and interaction with industry engineers, and through the counseling and advising, to help high school students make informed choices on appropriate course work during their high school years for pursuing future careers in engineering.
