CREATE

 

Summer Design Experience 2009


Do you want...

   1. to apply all that theory you've been learning in your engineering courses?
   2. to work on a meaningful engineering project?
   3. to learn about the engineering design process?
   4. to work on a summer project that makes a difference in the local area?

Then join CREATE this summer! 

Learn important skills and put your creativity to use while helping people live better lives with your creation.

There are two different ways to get involved with CREATE over the summer:

  1. Apply for a fellowship!  Use the Application and Recommendation forms below to apply for the fellowship.  Getting a fellowship from CREATE is comparable to getting an internship position:  It is paid (including housing!) and involves four-day 9-5 workdays. Students involved in the fellowship program will also be able to tour local companies and participate in other CREATE programs throughout the summer.  (Deadline has  passed for Summer 2009 SDE Fellowship Application.)
  2. If you don't get a fellowship or already have another full-time job or time commitment over the summer--you can still be involved in the design process and CREATE prgramming!  Just e-mail Alex Engel (alex.engel@case.edu) for further details.


Program Details

The purpose of CREATE is to involve students of all levels and all disciplines of engineering in the real-world engineering design process.

Within the Summer Design Experience (SDE), students will work full time on projects presented to them by companies, hospitals and professional researchers. Simultaneously, SDE students will receive lectures and hands-on tutorials in order to learn the necessary concepts, software and skills required to solve the design problem faced by their team. SDE gives students the unique opportunity to develop their engineering skills, take part in experiential learning and network with students, faculty and professionals.

The program will consist of three design teams, each of which is comprised of three to five students. An additional two students will be Design Directors, who will lead and educate the three design teams.
