We continue to closely monitor the evolving situation with coronavirus, or COVID-19. The health, safety, and welfare of all families, staff, and partners is of utmost importance for us. We are complying with Gov. Whitmer’s Stay Home/Stay Safe Executive Order.  The DAPCEP office will remain closed through the extent of the order while staff work remotely.

Welcome to DAPCEP

Detroit Area Pre-College Engineering Program

We thrive on connecting metropolitan-Detroit youth to exciting educational opportunities in STEM – science, technology, engineering, and math!

On Saturdays during the fall and spring, and in camp-format over the summer, we place youth on university campuses to learn everything from renewable energy engineering to computer programming to the mathematics of music.

We welcome all students who are in grades Pre-Kindergarten through 12th to explore the world of STEM. To deliver exciting, rigorous, and inspiring programs, we partner with a variety of local universities, corporations, foundations, faith-based organizations, community organizations, and public entities.

We’ve been changing lives through STEM since 1976. Our alumni have gone on to become professional engineers, doctors, entrepreneurs, computer scientists, and more. We hope that you, too, will join the DAPCEP family!
