It’s been a successful first year for the College of Science, Engineering and Technology marked by noteworthy student achievements ― including many accomplishments facilitated beyond the classroom curriculum. Despite the rigorous and challenging nature of the work, students exhibited an incredible degree of enthusiasm, excitement and engagement.
Student achievements during the first semester include:
Student achievements during the second semester include:
Grand Canyon University Arizona Health Occupations Student Association – Future Health Professionals (GCU AzHOSA) helps prepare students pursuing a career in health care and/or a health care degree for graduate school. As the largest pre-health organization on campus for CSET majors, GCU AzHOSA also provides leadership, volunteering, internship and networking opportunities.
In early April, a team of 19 biology students won nine gold, eight silver and two bronze medals at the AzHOSA state competition in Tucson. First-place students earned top honors in Pathophysiology, Medical Innovations, Biomedical Laboratory Science/Health Care Issues, Forensic Medicine, Medical Terminology, Nursing Assistant and Physical Therapy. GCU’s chapter will head to nationals June 24-27 in Anaheim, Calif.

We’re passionate about encouraging students to explore opportunities in growing STEM fields, even outside of the classroom at an early age. At GCU, middle and high school students can learn about how STEM integrates into daily life by participating in STEM Summer Camps at the GCU Phoenix campus.
STEM Summer Camps challenge students to solve problems and create new innovations, engage students with hands-on activities and motivate students to pursue STEM-related opportunities.
One-of-a-kind experiences await at any the following STEM Summer Camps:
GCU offers $1,000 STEM scholarships per academic year for students interested in an engineering or technology program. Scholarships are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Qualified applicants must be admissible to GCU and enroll in one of our computer science (CS), information technology (IT) or engineering programs.
The Ultimate STEM Showdown challenges teams of four high school students (and one teacher or sponsor) to design a winning apparatus for the College of Science, Engineering and Technology labs. Teams will also present and answer questions about their design. Finalists will be required to present their project at GCU’s Health Sciences, Engineering and Technology Day on Friday, Nov. 6, 2015.
The top prize includes $2,500 scholarships for students, a $10,000 grant for the team’s school provided by GCU and more!
