The Women’s Technology Program (WTP) hosts 60 High School seniors for a four week residential summer program. During the program the girls will explore engineering through hands on classes, labs and team projects.  There are two programs to choose from. The Electrical Engineering/Computer Science program will have 40 students and the Mechanical Engineering program will have 20 students.
