March 25, 2008

High school students have until May 23 to register for Rowan's Introduction for Students to Engineering (RISE), the College of Engineering's program for students curious about a future as an engineer.

RISE is a three-day workshop that offers an opportunity for students to participate in hands-on engineering activities. It will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday, July 8 through Thursday, July 10, in Rowan Hall, the engineering building off Bowe Boulevard in Glassboro.

The workshop will feature laboratory clinics, campus tours and a chance to meet College of Engineering professors and students. Field trips to industry sites are also part of the experience.

Applications are available for downloading at http://www.rowan.edu/colleges/engineering/k-12/rise and require a one-page essay on the topic "Why are you interested in engineering?" Admission is on a rolling basis. The program fee is $250 (which includes lunch).
