Engineering Shadow Program
Experience university life as an AUS engineering student
Have you ever wondered what it’s really like to study engineering? Join the American University of Sharjah Engineering Shadow Program for a taste of what your life could be like as a student in the College of Engineering.
Through this program, high school students in grades 11 and 12 get to experience a day in the life of an AUS engineering student. Your guide for the day will be a student in your major of interest, and as their “shadow,” you will attend classes, meet our engineering students and professors, and experience some of our on-campus facilities. This program is supported by Women in Engineering (WiE).
- What to expect
-
During your day at AUS, you’ll get to:
- attend classes or laboratories sessions with a top AUS student in your major of interest
- visit our excellent AUS facilities, including our top-notch laboratories, regionally renowned library, recreational sports facilities, Student Center and more
- meet with an admissions advisor, professors and College of Engineering administrators
- enjoy a complimentary meal with your student guide
All students who took part in the program along with their parents will be invited at the end of the semester to attend a celebration and award ceremony. During the ceremony all participants will receive a certificate of participation, and have the chance to meet with the Engineering Faculty, Department Heads and Dean.
