Summer Track
Summer TRACK (Teaching Research and Career Knowledge) is a unique in-person summer program between the first and second year of the UA engineering curriculum designed to help you reach your engineering education goals. Students have the opportunity to take foundational math and science classes (including Calculus I, Calculus II, and Physics 141) along with a career development class (ENGR 297) in a group of engineering classmates.
“One of the things I liked about the Summer TRACK program was that I was able to build a community while studying. Being involved in Summer TRACK was very helpful as I was able to take the core engineering classes I needed, all while creating a new community of friends who were there to help and support each other. Although taking these summer classes together could be difficult at times, it was fun to struggle and solve homework problems together. Even today I still stay in contact with some of our cohort. I don't think I would still be in engineering without the Summer TRACK program, the friends I was able to make, the amazing research opportunities I have been provided, and [the staff’s] unwavering support.”

Career Development Course:
The Summer TRACK Career Development class (ENGR 297) is sorted by career interests. These sections are:
- Infrastructure and Spatial Engineering - construction, utilities, mining, architecture
- Computer and IT Systems - electrical systems and signals, industrial and consumer electronics
- Manufacturing and Design - industrial and consumer design and manufacturing
Program dates: Monday, June 9, 2025 - Wednesday, August 13, 2025
Courses are currently being finalized, but we will aim to have math and science classes in the morning and the career development class and field trip during the afternoon.
Please be aware that summer term courses are rigorous and intensive. Please plan to dedicate much of the time that you’re not in class to completing homework assignments and studying for exams, which are frequent.
Scholarships Available:
Students who are eligible to receive a Pell Grant may have the remainder of their tuition and fees covered by the College of Engineering. Students who are ineligible for Pell can apply for scholarships after admittance to the program.
Program Costs
Please keep in mind that the College of Engineering is committed to lowering this substantially for participating students. Students using a Pell Grant will have their entire remaining cost after Pell covered by the College of Engineering. The table below is based on Summer 2022 tuition is subject to change with the Summer 2023 tuition schedule.
