SLAAM offers a selective, non-residential experience for high school students to engage in meaningful research and professional development directly with Rutgers Engineering faculty and graduate student mentors.
The SLAAM (Student Learning and Achievement Aerospace and Mechanical) Engineering Summer Academy at Rutgers University is a selective, non-residential program for academically talented and motivated high school students. It offers opportunities for meaningful research and professional development in aerospace and mechanical engineering. Participants engage in supervised research and learning experiences developed and taught by Rutgers Engineering faculty and graduate student mentors. The program focuses on research and applied work within the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department, allowing students to pursue their intellectual curiosity and connect with peers who share similar engineering interests. The curriculum aims to provide a deeper understanding of these engineering disciplines through hands-on activities and exposure to real-world applications.
A typical day may include academic workshops, facility tours/labs, guest speakers, and group projects.
The program is best for high-achieving high school students who are academically talented and motivated, and wish to engage in meaningful research and professional development in aerospace and mechanical engineering.
