The SDSU Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department is NOT offering your ordinary electrical engineering and computer science camp. Going beyond the typical, our high-tech camp also engages participants in a variety of adventurous outdoor activities. We believe that after our engineers solve the world’s technical problems, they should be sure to also have some fun.
At our SDSU EE and CS camp, prospective electrical engineers and computer scientists will explore topics such as:
- Design an autonomous robotic system
- Explore the exciting frontiers of renewable energy
- Create electronic games
- Tour SDSU’s state-of-the-art semiconductor cleanroom and solar-powered grid labs
- Visit several of our region’s high-tech electronics firms
Our participants will experience many indoor and outdoor activities in and around Brookings, such as:
- Archery
- Horseback riding
- Kayaking
- Rock climbing
- Swimming
At the end of this our camp, you will take home a deeper understanding of the electrical engineering and computer science disciplines, and an unforgettable experience of our region’s great outdoors!
Unfortunately, the 2021 camp cannot be held. We will post the dates for next year's camp as soon as they are available.
