"Scientist discover the world that exists;
engineers create the world that never was."
Theodore Von Karmam,
aerospace engineer
Each year the Foundation's "Consider Engineering" program is offered
twice in July to groups of 30 superb high school students who have
completed their junior year of study and who are well-suited to
becoming engineers. The four-day, free of charge, on-campus "camp" gives students opportunities to experience the
rewards and challenges of both college life and technical careers.
Students participate in about 20 activities and are introduced to
nearly two dozen UMaine faculty, engineers and engineering students.
Admission to the program is competitive with about 2/3 of the
applicants generally being selected to participate.
