2024 University of Miami College of Engineering Winter Workshops

These intensive three-week workshops include faculty lectures, hands-on practical sessions, faculty-student interactions, and collaborative group projects. In addition to academic enrichment, students will have the chance to explore Miami's attractions and enjoy a three-night cruise to Key West and the Bahamas.

When

January 21, 2024 – February 8, 2024

Size

Each workshop is designed for a select group of fewer than 20 students. Our intimate setting is purposefully curated to ensure that each of you receives an unparalleled learning experience. With a smaller cohort, you'll have ample opportunities to engage one-on-one with our esteemed faculty, fostering deeper connections and understanding. This size also allows us to offer a more personalized touch, ensuring that every participant feels seen, heard, and exceptionally cared for.
