"The Engineering Summer Academy has prepared me for my future goals by providing me with a strong foundation in engineering principles and real-world applications. It gave me a glimpse into the collaborative nature of engineering work, which has strengthened my decision to pursue a career in this field."

After attending the Engineering Academy, Soumita was admitted to the Rutgers University School of Engineering.

"The thing that I found most valuable at my experience was the hands-on activities, especially the cadaver lab, because it gave me the confidence that I can handle the physical aspects of physical therapy."
