Abstract

The main objective of this work is to increase the motivation of high school students to pursue a career in engineering. This is achieved through a 3-day university boot camp with a high focus on applying theoretical knowledge to real world problems, technology development and working in teams. The learning outcomes are therefore both related to academic/technical topics and to career decisions.
