Engineering Showcase - Overview

The Engineering Showcase is a one-day event that highlights The David Crawford School of Engineering at Norwich University. While similar to an open house, the event is designed specifically for students interested in studying engineering as a college major.

Accepted Norwich engineering students, as well as future applicants and their families, spend a day with the current students, engineering professors, and the director of engineering admissions. The agenda for the day includes a tour of the engineering facilities, hands-on engineering activities, admissions and scholarship information for parents, and an opportunity to win a $5000 scholarship.

This is a perfect occasion to learn more about what the engineering programs at Norwich have to offer and to find out whether or not Norwich is the right school for you. For more information or to register for the event, contact Keith McCusker, assistant director of admissions, at 1.800.468.6679 or submit our online registration card.

The Summer Engineering Academy has been designed by the David Crawford School of Engineering to:

  • Introduce the students to the three engineering majors offered at Norwich (civil, electrical-computer, and mechanical) through classes and laboratory exercises.
  • Expose the students to aspects of the engineering profession and teach them about possible career paths in engineering to help them decide which field is the best fit for them.
  • Teach students about the importance of teamwork in the engineering field and provide opportunities for students to work in teams on engineering projects and an engineering design contest.
  • Allow students to enjoy summertime in the beautiful Green Mountains of Vermont through a variety of outdoor activities including hiking, rappelling, archery, tubing, and watching the NECBL’s champion team, The Vermont Mountaineers.
  • Provide ample opportunity for students to experience life at Norwich University interacting with our engineering students who serve as the camp counselors, as well as our professors, who provide the classroom and laboratory instruction.
  • Award select scholarships for regular full-time enrollment in Norwich University’s engineering program based on overall performance during the academy in areas of academics, teamwork and passion for engineering.
  • Enrollment at the Summer Engineering Academy is a competitive process requiring submission of an official high school transcript, standardized test scores (PSAT, SAT, Plan or ACT), essays, and letters of recommendation. Applications for the academy will be available online in the February preceding the academy.
