Special Opportunities
To give Macalester students a chance to
test their interests in engineering fields
and the “engineering style,”Washington
University offers several special,
intensive, short introductory courses
during winter break. Participants take
one class over a 14-day period and
receive three semester hours of credit.
Students can take advantage of the many
opportunities at Macalester to work
closely with professors on research
projects, and a few even co-author
papers and present them at local,
regional or national meetings. All of the
science departments at Macalester offer
opportunities for intensive student
summer projects, and extensive financial
support is provided through special
grant programs.
The Mathematics and Computer
Science and Physics Departments offer
courses in applied mathematics, circuit
design and various aspects of computer
engineering.
Many students benefit from the college’s
internship program and work in
industry full-time during the summer or
part-time during the semester.
