INTERESTED IN HOW ENGINEERING APPLIES TO HEALTH AND MEDICINE?
Come to TCNJ for a week-long residential camp and learn about biomedical engineering. Work with biomedical engineers and students on projects ranging from medical imaging to drug delivery, from medical device design to neural engineering and more.
The camp will be held at the beautiful campus of The College of New Jersey in Ewing, NJ. Participants stay in a TCNJ air-conditioned residence dorm and are chaperoned by Biomedical Engineering students.
Participants will be exposed to the diverse field of biomedical engineering through several hands‐on and design activities that take place in the TCNJ STEM Building’s state‐of‐the‐art biomedical engineering laboratories and design facilities. Participants will also have the opportunity to meet biomedical engineers working in the medical device industry.
A typical day at camp includes:
- Hands‐on lab or design activities, such as mechanically testing materials, learning principles of diffusion, working with industry-grade CAD systems, and more
- Presentation of project outcomes
- Evening activities
- Meet‐and‐greet with biomedical engineers from industry
Who should apply?
High school students that rank in the top 30% of their class and have an interest in engineering or medicine. Applicants must have successfully completed one year of math and science.
Camp Costs
The full week of residence camp costs $1,750 (plus a non-refundable $39 application fee). This fee covers tuition, educational materials, room & board, and entertainment expenses. Camp participants must provide their own transportation to and from campus in Ewing, New Jersey.
Important Dates
Program Dates: July 14-19, 2019
Seats are limited. Priority application deadline is April 25, 2019. Rolling admission thereafter will be based on available space.
All applicants will be notified by June 5, 2019.
Full payment will be due June 14, 2019
Application Requirements
In addition to general parent and student information, the application form will request:
- A 250-word student statement about their interest in Biomedical Engineering and what they would like to learn by participating
- Name and email contact information for a teacher recommendation. This teacher should be in the student’s high school and have taught the student in a STEM subject. Please have the student ask the teacher to be a recommender prior to submitting the application.

High School students are invited to apply for an intensive summer Robotics Camp offered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ).
The intent of the camp is to motivate the most creative minds of a new generation of prospective Electrical and Computer Engineers to become global leaders in an increasingly technological world. The program aims to create a community of students who participate in and contribute to an intensive and powerful academic experience delivered by distinguished educators and professionals.
Camp participants will be introduced through a residential College academic experience to the exciting field of Electrical and Computer Engineering and will learn topics not traditionally taught in High Schools such as Microcontroller Programming, Sensing Systems, Digital Electronics, Wireless Communications, Computer Vision, and more.
The participant will work with Electrical and Computer Engineering students and professors, and interact with professional engineers from the Industry.
TCNJ offers a superior learning environment, and these experiences take place in specialized laboratories.
What is Robotics?
Robotics is the science and technology of robots, their design, manufacture, and applications. It requires a working knowledge of electronics, software, and mechanics. Robots are used in industrial, military, exploration, homemaking, and academic and research applications. Although the appearance and capabilities of robots vary vastly, all robots share the features of electronic sensors, and a movable structure under some form of autonomous electronics, computer, and software control.
What Do Students Do at the TCNJ Robotics Summer Camp?
Students will build, program, and use their own robot. Each participant will receive a robotics kit, and at the end of the camp, they get to take home their own robot. The Kit provides everything necessary to build an expandable robotics platform. During the process of building their robot, students get to perform a series of activities, which culminate with a robotics competition.
The activities introduce motor control and interfacing your robot to the human world to avoid objects, follow light, and provide sound and light feedback.
A Typical Day at the Camp Includes:
Interesting electrical and computer engineering sessions each morning and afternoon, and their application to your robot. Hands-on robot building, programming, and utilization facilitated by TCNJ faculty and students.
Site visits to facilities where state of the art electronic and computer technology is being developed, and meeting with practicing engineers.
Fun evening activities
At the end of the week, a prominent guest speaker from the Electronics/Computer Industry will give a special presentation about their organization and the industry.
Who Should Apply?
Eligible camp participants are high school students that rank at the top 30% of their class, have an interest in robotics or engineering, and have successfully completed one year of college prep mathematics (preference will be given to those who have completed algebra).
Location and Cost:
The camp will be held at the beautiful campus of The College of New Jersey, Ewing, NJ. Participants stay in a TCNJ air-conditioned residence dorm and are chaperoned by electrical/computer engineering students.
