The camp will emphasize how mathematics and science are used to improve the processes to build things like BMW vehicles and how other industries and organizations, such as healthcare, finance and the armed forces, use similar processes and tools. In addition to honing and improving team work and leadership skills, students will gain hands-on experience in learning and applying Lean and Six Sigma tools to computerized challenges, physical simulations, case studies, and teaching games. An in-depth tour of BMW's manufacturing facility and USC-Upstate's Healthcare Simulation Center are included. Students will also have a chance to improve their driving skills behind the wheel of a BMW vehicle at the BMW Performance Center.
The Academic Outreach Camp will be held June 15-19 and June 22-26, 2015, at USC-Upstate's George Dean Johnson, Jr. College of Business and Economics in downtown Spartanburg. Participants will be required to attend both weeks. Students must be rising seniors at the time of application and must apply online at www.uscupstate.edu/bmwcamp. The camp is free; lunch and snacks will be provided. The deadline for applications is March 16, 2015.
