WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- High-school seniors from around the state will spend one week
this summer at Purdue University learning more about educational and career opportunities
in engineering.
Purdue's Department of Freshman Engineering will sponsor a Seminar for Top Engineering
Prospects (STEP) July 12-17 and again July 19-24. The registration deadline is May

The one-week seminars will feature lab demonstrations, computer classes, industrial
plant tours, and various projects and social activities designed to help students
decide whether to pursue a career in engineering.
To be eligible for the program, attendees must be entering their senior year in high
school and must have completed three years of high school mathematics along with
