Villanova University NovaEdge Engineering Summer Program

The NovaEdge Diversity in Engineering Academy is back on campus this summer!

You are invited to ask your students to submit an application to this one-week, on-campus program that introduces a diverse population of students from different ethnic and social backgrounds to the traditional fields of engineering, including Chemical, Civil and Environmental, Computer and Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering. Students also will be introduced to unique aspects of Villanova’s College of Engineering, which include international service learning, Sustainable Engineering and Engineering Entrepreneurship. Lectures and hands-on laboratory experiments are taught by Villanova engineering faculty, and daily guest speakers will bridge academia and industry.  

In addition to this introduction to engineering, the NovaEdge program includes a presentation on the college admissions process.
