Virtual AIM is a huge success for my daughter!

Very happy to hear that! If you or your DD feel like sharing, I (and I'm sure others) would be curious to hear what the experience was like, what was involved, what activities they did, etc.

AIM is a great program, and it's good to know that it held up well even in a virtual format!
 
That's great to hear! Were the log in times the same everyday? My DS is in group 2 and he got an email with the times for day 1. Would love to hear more about it.
 
The times have been generally the same. I think the biggest benefit has been my daughter’s being able to meet current and future cadets. It gave her a feel as to whether they were kids she could hang with. She enjoyed the presentations about the summer excursions and the career day. The opportunity to talk to the track coach was nice. There is a chance to practice your interview, which was great too. The first day was not representative of the rest of the week...it gets better from there!

Is the interview "practice" or the real deal? The way it is worded in the email suggests it is intended to be used as part of their admissions package. Perhaps I interpreted it the wrong way.
 
Mechanical Engineering is supporting the Covid-19 response on a few critical efforts. There is a video just created for our virtual high school summer program AIM. I cannot add a FB link, so take a look at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy Mechanical Engineering page.
 
Very cool video @CGAprof. My DD is interested in the "bio" side of mechanical engineering so I'm thinking she will eat that up during session 3. Was session 2 the same times as reported in another thread of 11-1230 and 4-530? DD trying to plan her summer nanny duties. :)

We have run biomedical engineering type capstone projects the last three years within mechanical due to student interest. There is one biomedical/mechanical engineering faculty member (Prof. Adrezin) on the mechanical faculty. On a separate note, those interested in Environmental Engineering often work with Dean Zelmanowitz or CDR Fleischmann. As always, their contact info is on uscga.edu. Edit: I recommend reaching out by email. People rarely access their voicemails.
