Registration Open Quinnipiac University Engineering Summer Camp

From Quinnipiac University: The School of Engineering at Quinnipiac University is accepting registrations for a 19-day online summer camp for high school students who are interested in learning about simulation. The camp will run from July 10-28.

“This is a great opportunity for high school students to receive a certificate and learn simulation, particularly for students who are interested in pursuing an engineering or business degree at a university,” said Emre Tokgoz, assistant professor of industrial engineering. “In addition, since it’s all online, the students will be involved in a world-wide competition for the top prizes awarded at the camp.”

Students who enroll will use FlexSim, a simulation software that helps users to model, simulate, predict and visualize systems in such areas as manufacturing, material handling, health care and warehousing mining.

Participants will learn to use Excel for simulation and statistics, solve engineering problems, understand and implement basic statistics concepts and manage several different environments using FlexSim. In addition, they will create 3D charts and graphs and derive statistical reports.

Students also will experience the predictive power of simulation through experimentation, Tokgoz said.

“As a result of attending the camp, they will be able to identify efficiencies, understand bottlenecks and manage various industrial work environments,” Tokgoz said.

Registration is $399. For more information, email iesummercamp@qu.edu or visit flexsim.com/qu.
