Why Join the Engineering Summer Bridge Program?

1. Accelerate Your Math Skills

• Math readiness is the #1 predictor of engineering success.

• You’ll get focused instruction to help you master the skills needed for engineering.

• Retake the ALEKS math placement test for a chance to place directly into a higher-level math class, saving time and money.

2. Get Hands-On with Engineering

• Explore the basics of engineering through exciting, real-world projects.

• Work with tools in the UMHB Makerspace to build, create, and problem-solve like an engineer.

3. Save Time, Save Money

• Placing into Calculus I could eliminate the need for a semester-long pre-calculus course, keeping you on the 4-year graduation track.

• The program costs less than a semester of pre-calculus and could potentially shorten your college career by a semester or more.

4. Build a Support Network

• Meet other incoming engineering students and form friendships before the semester even starts.

• Connect with experienced UMHB engineering students who will mentor and guide you.

5. Discover Campus Life Early

• Get an early introduction to campus resources, academic support, and UMHB traditions.

• Enjoy fun social events like game nights, movie nights, and field trips.
