TEEM
The Engineering Experience for
Minorities
Unfortunately, TEEM will not be in session for the summer of 2007. Please check back for more information as we begin to plan for 2008.
About the Program:
TEEM is a component of the Engineers of the Future Summer Institute
at Rutgers University, School of Engineering. TEEM is designed
to offer insight into engineering as a profession, while also exposing
students to intellectual challenges presented at the college level.
The program follows a graduate research model, with students researching
and developing a group project and presenting their results to a panel
of engineers.
TEEM is challenging and competitive and is oriented towards students
who have demonstrated the necessary ability to pursue a college education.
The program is limited to 20 New Jersey high school students of African
American, Hispanic, or Native American heritage, who have completed
their Junior year and will be high school Seniors in the next academic
year. Selection is based upon course content, recommendations,
grades, PSAT, SAT scores, in addition to a personal essay.
This summer TEEM is a three week commuter program (excluding
weekends) with a staff of full-time counselors. There is a
$25 deposit for the program (the deposit is to reserve a place in the program and will be refundable once the program has completed). Daily meals are provided, as are the necessary
supplies for projects and classes. Course instructors are drawn from
Rutgers faculty as well as doctoral level candidates at the University.
