The **University of Pennsylvania Management & Technology Summer Institute (M&TSI)** is a rigorous, three-week program that introduces high school students to the intersection of **business** and **engineering**. Hosted jointly by **Wharton** and **Penn Engineering**, the program combines lectures, case studies, and hands-on projects to show how technology and management work together to solve real-world problems. Students explore topics such as product design, innovation, and strategic decision-making while gaining exposure to both technical and business-minded ways of thinking. M&TSI is best suited for students who are strongly interested in **both STEM and business**—for example, aspiring entrepreneurs, engineers who want to understand markets, or future leaders in tech-driven industries. Participants benefit from: - Learning from Penn faculty and interacting with current M&T students - Collaborating on team projects that mirror college-level work - Experiencing campus life at a leading research university For college applications, M&TSI can demonstrate readiness for **interdisciplinary study**, comfort with rigorous coursework, and sustained interest in combining technology and management. Students leave with a clearer sense of whether an integrated business–engineering path fits their academic and career goals.
