Engineering – Career Insights

New York was built by engineers – from the towering bridges to the underground networks that keep it running. Our Engineering summer programme for students aged 15–18 places you in the heart of this incredible urban environment to explore how design, problem-solving, and innovation come together in real-world projects. You’ll work through hands-on challenges covering mechanical, structural, and electrical engineering principles, guided by professionals who bring industry knowledge.

On industry visits, you’ll learn to think like an engineer: creatively, critically, and collaboratively. Through simulations, prototype-building, and case studies drawn from infrastructure projects, you’ll see how engineering changes the world around us. In a city that never sleeps and always builds, you’ll experience the thrill of tackling complex systems in an ambitious, exciting setting. This programme is ideal if you’re considering studying engineering or want to explore how technical ideas become the solutions that shape our cities and societies.
