Day 1: August 19, 2025, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Would you like to learn more about the process behind the material, modeling, and testing for concrete 3D printing? We will cover concrete ingredients, mix design, checking extrudability with a hand extruder, and rheometer testing; demonstrating Robotic Arm Tracing 3DP Path, including the real-time process of model creation, slicing, coding, and pathing; and destructive testing of existing specimens. Applications of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), connected and automated vehicles, and artificial intelligence will be demonstrated using videos or live. In the afternoon, students will tour a concrete ready-mix plant and a construction site.

Morning Camp (9 a.m.- Noon): In-class and lab activities

Lunch (Noon- 1 p.m.): Wilkerson Dining Center

Afternoon Camp (1 p.m.- 4 pm): Tour a concrete ready-mix plant and construction site.

Day 2: August 20, 2025, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Are you interested in learning what environmental engineers do to create sustainable futures? During the camp, students will learn about water treatment systems and water analysis using real-time sensors. They will also be introduced to standard technologies used in the Environmental Engineering laboratory. Students will team up in groups to do water treatment challenges to learn treatment concepts in a fun and hands-on way, and they will visit a state-of-the-art water treatment facility in Grand Forks.

Morning Camp (9 a.m.- Noon): Upson-II-Environmental Engineering Undergraduate Teaching Lab

Lunch (Noon- 1 p.m.): Wilkerson Dining Center

Afternoon Camp (1 p.m.- 4 pm): Grand Forks Water Treatment Plant Tour
