Engineering is a competitive field, but it is also one brimming with opportunities for international collaboration. Join students from over 175 countries across the world and build a global network of like-minded future engineers. Your newfound friendships may well become sources of mutual inspiration and collective contribution for years to come.
We offer students the very best of modern education, selecting as tutors and visiting speakers subject experts and industry figureheads to give attendees the edge as they face a formative moment in their early careers. Every student on our Engineering Summer School will be taught key academic skills to help them excel in their future learning. They will:
– Master the fundamentals of the different fields of engineering
– Enhance problem solving and critical thinking skills through engineering projects and challenges
– Develop a portfolio of specific and transferable skills to strengthen an application
– Gain insight into emerging technology and the grand major challenges of engineering facing 21st-century engineers
– Join the next generation of technological thinkers and leaders
Young engineers are on the cusp of entering a workplace undergoing significant restructuring due to technological progress, as well as an increasing need for interdisciplinary imagination. Student will grow not only in academic prowess, but we will help them grow personally as successful future leaders by:
– Strengthening their capacity and skills for project leadership
– Providing opportunities for debate to build confidence and communication skills
– Supporting participation in independent research and group projects to promote collaboration and commitment
– Understanding the six ‘Engineering Habits of Mind’ (as determined by the Royal Society of Engineers), conducive to well-rounded career development in the field
– Exploring an incredible novel location with new friends, broadening their global world view
Our emphasis on career insights and practical applications represent an incredible opportunity for our 16 to 18 age group to begin to solidify their plans for the future. Through attending our Engineering Summer School, students will:
– Prepare to pursue an Engineering degree at university
– Compare multiple fields of engineering and find their potential career pathway
– Learn the key academic and professional skills like leadership, collaboration and confidence to take them into a successful future
– Discover how Engineering can help solve the future challenges facing the world
In addition to the core learning, students will also have the opportunity to take part in hands-on practical workshops that allow them to explore the world of engineering beyond their core teaching. Whether you’re building a Python-powered robot or coding autonomous drone flight paths, you’ll gain valuable experience to enrich your understanding and skills. Be inspired by Dubai’s incredible examples of engineering prowess.
Putting their newfound knowledge to the test, our engineering students will work in teams to solve the engineering challenges towering on the field’s horizon. Past examples have been building scale models of bridges, planning for future human life on Mars. Each year, our challenge is designed and updated to respond to contemporary developments in the industry by our expert programme designers.
Held on campus at a special venue, our students will take part in a graduation ceremony hosted by their Programme Director. They will receive a personal graduation certificate, and enjoy a celebratory dinner followed by a final party to end their programme with their new friends.
Set against a backdrop of stunning skyscrapers and deep-rooted cultural traditions, Dubai offers an inspiring environment where innovation meets heritage. Students will not only engage deeply with their chosen subjects but also gain firsthand insight into a global hub of business, technology, and design.
Beyond the classroom, our programme includes extraordinary excursions: take in the sweeping city views from the iconic Burj Khalifa, wander through the historic souks of Old Dubai along the Dubai Creek, enjoy a luxury yacht tour of the Marina, and explore the grandeur of the UAE’s capital with a day trip to Abu Dhabi. Dubai promises a truly enriching and unforgettable spring experience.
Students will venture into the desert for an unforgettable dune bashing experience. This excursion will also include a cultural demonstration of Bedouin life, traditional dance performances, camel rides, and a BBQ dinner under the stars.
