Yes! There is a program called Ace Mentoring. See if your local has it. It goes from like Oct- April. You work on engineering fun projects once a week with almost one on one with real engineers.Each group has like 20 kids and about 7 teams. The companies in Chicago were all world class companies. This was made for like civil and architecture but in Chicago had all engineering disciplines. My son’s final project was an actual shopping center project that was being build at the same time. You get to work in different groups like your group might be electrical and work with the structural team etc. The problems that occur are pretty life-like. Collaboration is key. How one group not being on time or budget affects your team’s success or plans being redrawn at the last minute etc. There is also some scholarship opportunities for college, they have connections to colleges and looks great on a resume. They even provided transportation with train, bus cards and dinner.
