Students gain practical, hands-on research experience with Columbia University faculty and graduate students, and receive a stipend for their participation.
Engineering the Next Generation (E.N.G.) is a six-week summer research program at Columbia Engineering designed for highly motivated underrepresented high school students from select local partner schools. Participants engage in real research alongside Columbia faculty researchers and graduate students, developing academic and professional abilities. The program includes hands-on experience in genuine engineering research projects, research skills and college prep workshops, and science communications workshops. Past projects have involved modeling engine emissions, designing collision avoidance systems, spinal cord regeneration techniques, and machine learning. Students gain practical research experience, exposure to lab culture, new skills, and benefit from multi-level mentorship.
Students work with Columbia Engineering researchers on projects and participate in workshops focused on research skills, college preparation, and science communication.
This program is ideal for highly motivated underrepresented high school students, specifically rising seniors (current 11th graders) from select local partner schools, with a strong interest in engineering and research.
