Are you passionate
about engineering? Do you love math, science, and computers? If you
answered yes, then SUMMET is the program for you. The SUMMET program
is part of the Minority Engineering Program at the Colorado School of
Mines. By participating in SUMMET, you get the opportunity to experience
the rigors of college life, the challenges of the college-leveled courses,
and the liveliness of SUMMET parties. You will have the chance to meet
new and exciting people from a wide range of cultural backgrounds and
be able to work together and learn from each other. About SUMMET The SUMMET program has been a part of the Minority Engineering Program at the Colorado School of Mines for thirty seven years. The program is three weeks long, and consists of two weeks of classes, two exams, and a week-long research project plus presentation. Students will receive introductory instruction in the fields of calculus, chemistry, circuits, computers, earth science, economics, petroleum, physics, and strengths. The students will live on the Colorado School of Mines campus in real college dorms, and have access to actual college resources to aid them in their studies. Room and board will be provided to the students. There are classes and other scheduled activities, but also free time for the students to use to their own advantage. Scheduled study sessions ensure all the required help that the students need from the teachers, and encourage a group atmosphere with students helping each other. All the students will exposed to something new. And even though the main focus of this program is on fields associated with engineering, students will also be exposed to presentation and technical writing skills. To further student understanding of the subjects are hands-on experiments in the CSM labs. Scattered throughout the three weeks are numerous tours and activities for the participants to enjoy. The activities are designed to be both educational and entertaining, and show students how engineering is applied in real life opportunities. The entire program costs approximately $1500 per student, but the School of Mines is willing to cover the vast majority of the costs. As a result, the participants only pay $50 of the original cost. The CSM firmly believes that this program is beneficial to the students, and sees it as an opportunity to enlarge fields associate with engineering. The SUMMET program is fun, exciting, and enjoyable. All students should seize this opportunity to participate in this great program, and participate in a great learning experience. |
