PREP 2013 Summer Program
Determined Leaders, Future Engineers
Dear Student,
Thank you for your interest in the 2013 Summer Pre-Freshman Program in Engineering and Science (PREP) at Chicago State University. The PREP Program will begin on Monday, July 1, 2013 and end on Friday, August 9, 2013. The hours of operation are from 8:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. The PREP Program is designed to make students aware, at an early age, of the professional opportunities in engineering and to convince students to take more mathematics and science as a part of their high school course load. The five week summer program will consist of educational, motivational, and recreational activities designed specifically to stimulate interest in math/science that will insure success in an engineering curriculum. The goal of the PREP Program is to increase awareness of career opportunities in engineering in order to facilitate the selection of an engineering major in college. The PREP Program is beneficial to students because it provides critical insight into the engineering profession, the demand of an engineer curriculum and what is expected of them academically and socially in college.
Students entering grades 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 in September 2013 are eligible to apply. Students who are selected for the PREP Program will participate in:
| • |
Science, Math, and English/communication courses |
| • |
A hands on engineering project. |
| • |
Field trips to science and engineering corporations. |
We are now accepting applications for the summer program. The requirements are as follows:
| • |
Students must have demonstrated proficiency in math/science evidence by submitting a copy of the 2012/2013 elementary school report card or an official high school transcript. |
| • |
Unofficial copy of the 2012/2013 Iowa Test Score, TAP Test Scores, and ACT or SAT Scores. Please photocopy original documents and submit the copied documents with your application package. All materials become the property of Chicago State University. |
| • |
Students must submit two letters of recommendation from their science instructor, math instructor or school counselor. |
| • |
Interview with summer program staff/faculty members. |
| • |
Students must be from an ethnic group historically underrepresented in engineering. |
After your application materials have been submitted to our office, we will e-mail you a response indicating what we have received. The final deadline for submission of all application information is Friday, May 3, 2013. Be sure to complete the entire application and provide the requested forms. Please note each written recommendation must be completed by a math and/or science instructor. Incomplete or late applications will not be considered.
