@fflmaster UA (and other schools like Purdue) offer a one week summer program for students interested in learning about different areas of engineering. At UA, one can attend if a rising HS junior or HS senior. My DD attending before HS senior year - she was thinking about chemical or civil eng, and after UA SITE (Student Introduction to Engineering) she decided civil engineering, and is in the class of 2018. CS is in college of engineering and they also include that in the program. If your undecided student is wanting to explore. In previous years, SITE had 3 one week sessions - they fill up quick and not really advertised. You can look for details on ua.edu (on the search put in SITE) or call engineering dept. A number of OOS students attended with DD. They had a parent/student luncheon at the end, and Dean of Engineering, Dean Karr gave an inspiring talk. So you can maybe wrap up a visit with an educational opportunity.
