Adding Research to Engineering
The 2025 SEAS Summer Immersion Program (SSIP) for high school students added a new aspect of engineering and computer science work to this year's activities: research.
At Gonzaga, faculty-led research contributes to new knowledge through immersive hands-on projects. Students practice critical thinking, creativity and problem-solving skills as they see the impact of their work.
The SSIP participants explored this summer's four projects in the Gonzaga Research Opportunities in Math, Engineering & Computer Science (GRO-MECS) program. In groups of four, SSIP students rotated through a new research lab each day and had the opportunity to work closely with our GRO-MECS faculty and students.

Students demonstrated what they learned at a special research symposium at the end of the SSIP week. Parents were invited to attend the presentations.
