Pre-College Programs

The College of Engineering and Science at the University of Detroit Mercy has a long history of serving students from the metro Detroit area in its pre-college programs. Our oldest program started twenty-eight years ago through a partnership with the Detroit Area Pre-College Engineering Program (DAPCEP).

Fall 2011 Newsletter
In the 2010-11 academic year, the College offered ten different pre-college programs covering students in the 4th through 12th grades. These programs affected over 3,500 students who attended events, camps, and programs on campus. Our extensive outreach programs have allowed us to build strong relationships with many of the high schools in the area.

Summer Programs
University of Detroit Mercy offers a variety of summer programs that allow participants to explore science, technology, engineering and math through the most current methods of innovation with fun, hands-on, and engaging activities that will challenge and delight young minds for a summer filled with vision and imagination!

DAPCEP Programs at UDM
Five week Saturday enrichment classes in the fall and spring for students in the 4th through 12th grades focusing on engineering, math, computers and science.

Technology Discovery Day (TDD)
Fall on-campus event for area high school teachers and students. Engineering and science displays and science-based competitions are among the highlights.

FIRST ROBOTICS
FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a national organization whose mission is to excite high school students about engineering and technology through its national robotics competition. Since 1997, UDM College of Engineering & Science has sponsored and mentored a FIRST team. In 2006, we reunited with our first FIRST team at University of Detroit Jesuit High School, Detroit.
