OU Engineering Days

Engineering Days

Join us for a summer day camp series where rising high school juniors and seniors (those graduating in 2028 or 2029) explore and discover OU Engineering through one-day, in-depth applications in exciting engineering disciplines.

 Registration Dates for 2027:

The registration for Summer 2027 will open in April 2027!

Each Engineering Day will run from 8:30AM - 4:30PM approximately. 

Check-in will begin at 8:15AM and lunch will be provided for students.

The cost of attendance is $25 per day.

*Space is limited to 50 students per Engineering Day. Once an event has reached capacity, it will no longer be listed in the application.


 

2027 Program Schedule

We are still actively working on the schedule for Summer 2027! The full Engineering Days schedule should be available in late Fall 2026. The program has historically run on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays throughout June.

Frequently Asked Questions

The registration for Summer 2027 will open in April 2027!

OU Engineering Days are designed for rising high school juniors and seniors (graduating in 2028 or 2029). There are no academic requirements before the camp, so any student in the grade bracket should be able to participate in the activities!

Campers should use the parking permit provided in their acceptance packet to park on campus for Engineering Days. This permit will only be needed for camps that happen during the week!

If you need another permit, please email us at goengineering@ou.edu.

Engineering Days costs $25 per session to help cover costs of lunch, supplies and materials, and more. This fee is non-refundable. Information on fee payment will be available in the acceptance packet and email. 


 

Overview of Past Experiences

This is a small sampling of events for previous years for Engineering Days. Please note that these are not exactly what students will complete during any specific E-Day.

Students will design, build, and test a miniature off-road vehicle to carry an egg passenger over different obstacles.  Then, after a crash course on airplane physics, students will design, build, and fly their airplanes cooperatively in a super-sized game of battleship.

Using principles of vector mechanics and hands-on activities, participants will build and test the limits of a rigid structure. In addition, participants will be introduced to the basic principles of fluid mechanics while exploring aspects of renewable wind energy in a design, build and test activity on windmill blade design.
