Inspire 2025: E³ Personalized Engineering Applications (July 14-18)

About the Program

This course is crafted to encourage students to meaningfully reflect on their unique interests and how they intersect with or can be informed by engineering design. Students will engage in activities to discover and better define their passions. Then, using foundational knowledge they will acquire regarding engineering as a field as well as design thinking, students will apply technical concepts and transferrable skills to their personalized interest areas. In Personalized Engineering Applications, students will begin to think critically about how engineering can be applied to any context, expanding much further than the traditional problems they may see more frequently. Emphases are placed on self-discovery, engineering identity development, the engineering design process, and applications to real-world, personalized contexts.

This class is part of E³: Exploring Engineering Essentials. The UVA School of Engineering and Applied Science has created a series of classes that can be taken individually or together to help aspiring engineers learn more about the foundations of engineering and what is possible when you apply the same framework to different topics.

This is an in-person course that meets daily in Fairfax, 9am – 4pm EST. Tuition cover materials, meals (lunch/snacks), and transportation to any offsite excursions.
