Learning and approach
- Use engineering calculations to examine the capacity, efficiency and constraints of energy systems.
How the programme works
Students use hydropower data to estimate electricity supply and test the effect of wind speed and blade angle on turbine output. Costs, reliability and environmental impacts matter too.
Eligibility and international applicants
High-school students should review the mathematics and lab-science prerequisites and confirm which in-person sessions are available.
Dates and costs
Schedule
Current dates await publication or further verification.
Costs
Current full costs require verification. Check tuition, accommodation, meals, insurance and travel inclusions.

Grade and age
- Our typical student is a rising junior (~35%) or senior (~65%) in high school. Official source ↗
- You must be under 18 years of age to live in the residence hall. Official source ↗
Academic programme
- Students examine power output using Conowingo Dam data and test blade angle, wind speed and efficiency on a model turbine. Teams weigh reliability, cost and environmental effects. Official source ↗
Fit and preparation
Review units for power, energy and efficiency, then check the campus lab and travel arrangements.
