• Learn about planes, trains, ships, and automobiles through cool hands-on activities and group projects.

• Tour the Mackinac Bridge Authority and get behind-the-scenes information about the “Mighty Mac”: the third-longest suspension bridge in the country.

• Travel to Sault Ste. Marie and learn firsthand about the largest waterway traffic system on earth—the Soo Locks shipping canal between Lake Superior and the lower Great Lakes.

• Spend your time with other smart students in a vibrant university setting.

• Enjoy great recreational activities and time spent outdoors in the beautiful Keweenaw Peninsula.

This program is a highly competitive scholarship program which provides high school freshmen, sophomores, and juniors the opportunity to investigate careers and educational paths supporting today’s transportation industry and future needs.

Students participate in discussions, hands-on design competitions, and trips to study local and regional transportation hotspots. In addition, students have opportunities throughout the two week to interact with industry role models and a diverse group of peers from all over the country and world.

Upon request, arrangements can be made for you to talk with university faculty from disciplines or areas in which you have special interests or concerns, as well as Admissions and Financial Aid staff.
