Partners for Minorities in Engineering and Computer Science (PMECS)
2022 Summer Workshops*
Rising 9th-12th grade
Overnight accommodations will be available for students who do not live in the Columbia area. Upper-class residential students will be asked to check in on the Sunday before the first day of the workshop. Rising 9th grade residential students and all commuters will check in on Monday.
This partnership between educators and businesses provides gifted minority students with cultural and academic activities and role models in engineering and computer science. Through a series of technical workshops, students are exposed to the sciences, which helps enhance their academic skills. Rising high-school freshmen spend four days and three nights on the USC campus, and sophomores, juniors, and seniors spend six days and five nights on campus. College of Engineering and Computing personnel assist with the workshops.
