Tech offers Camp Dream Builders
Florida Tech offers two summer civil engineering
construction management programs this summer for middle and high school
students on the Melbourne campus. One is for 7th - 9th grade students;
the other is for 10th - 12th grade students. Both are weeklong and were
developed by Florida Tech's Department
of Civil Engineering and the Construction Industry Advisory Board.
The 10th - 12th grade program includes
field trips, design and construction projects, laboratory testing, and
computer projects using Microsoft Project, AutoCAD, and West Point Bridge
Design software. Field trips will take students to residential and commercial
construction projects. In this program, students may attend as day students
or as residential students living in the residence halls.
The 7th - 9th grade program offers "hands-on" workshops
that are designed to introduce students to civil engineering and construction
industry fields. They will also learn about computer-aided design drafting,
construction material properties and testing, developing project cost
estimates, scheduling and bridge design. Industry speakers will expose
students to construction industry career choices.
