Odds are, if you are a high school student who attends the Bechtel High School Introduction to Engineering Systems (HITES) at UT, this summer, you are going to leave wanting to major in engineering. Last year, 86 percent of the seniors who attended the program decided to major in engineering once they are enrolled in a university. Seventy-seven percent planned to study engineering at UT.

The HITES summer program for rising eleventh and twelfth- graders will take place in two sessions, July 15–20 and July 22–27. The program is geared for students underrepresented in the field, such as African Americans, Hispanic/Latino Americans, Native Americans, and females. They must have at least a B average in both math and science to apply.
