Get Involved

The success of the Gordon Center relies on the participation of the Jacobs School of Engineering community. We invite students, faculty and friends to partner with us as we strive to achieve our mission of educating effective engineering leaders.

Get Involved

High School Students

High School Students (grades 9 through 12) can participate in the California State Summer School for Mathematics and Science (COSMOS) at UC San Diego to receive a month long on-campus engineering, math, and science experience during the summer. Learn more about COSMOS »

Outstanding students participating in the COSMOS program are eligible to be nominated for the Gordon Engineering Leadership Award for high school students.

Undergraduate Students

Undergraduate Students will have access to the Gordon Center's novel courses on engineering leadership, project management and interdisciplinary design provided through the Gordon Center.

All Jacobs School students may also attend our leadership forum events, and we invite you to send us suggestions about topics you would like to see covered in classes, workshops, forums and summer schools.

We invite you to apply and participate in our comprehensive leadership education and training program.
