Quotes from MITE 2008 participants:

"MITE has definitely sealed the deal on a pursuit for education and a career in engineering. It has really put engineering into perspective by introducing and explaining many types of engineering disciplines. MITE is a great program!"

"I feel like I have an exponential amount of new information about engineering and how different fields also have connecting aspects. I know MITE was the best choice for me to fully understand engineering as a whole."

"Before I came to this summer program, I felt unsure as to what exactly engineering was.  During this program I was able to learn and better able to understand what engineering was, and what it had to offer me in the short term as well as long term future.  MITE has given me a glimpse at what college life, engineering as a major, and engineering as a career is like.  Coming to this program has better enabled me to prepare and ready myself for engineering by providing much vital information that is not easily accessible."

"I will definitely apply to The University of Texas at Austin because it's among the top ten in almost everything.  If the students and faculty are as nice as the counselors and the professors were this week, then there is no doubt my college experience here will be fun, successful, and rewarding."

"Even though I was only here for a week, I gained the sense that I was part of the university. I had college experiences and gained knowledge which we must all learn. I loved the people and I felt the spirit throughout every building."

"I fell in love with the school, the programs, and the people."
