Older students are used as peer counselors and role models to prepare younger students for more demanding phases of the program, i.e., the on-campus programs at the University of Delaware.

7th - 10th Grade Summer Engineering Enrichment Program is modeled closely after the first six-week summer program administered by FAME in June 1977. The first half of the school day is devoted to mathematics, science, and computer science and communication skills. The second half of the day focuses on industrial and cultural tours for the 7th and 8th graders. For the 9th and 10th graders, the afternoon consists of working on the engineering projects.
11th Grade Residential Program, University of Delaware offers participants their first opportunity to experience campus life. This four-week program offers course work in algebra II, pre-calculus, geometry, chemistry, and engineering exploration.
12th Grade Residential Program, University of Delaware, provides students with the opportunity to sample two college level courses: one in pre-calculus/calculus, and one in physics. The program is four weeks in length. In addition, the students have a course in computers and an engineering research design course.
Pre-Freshman Summer Employment those FAME students who have graduated from high school and have been accepted into college move into the final phase of the program: summer employment. When vacancies occur at one of the supporting companies, pre-freshman students are offered the opportunity to work for a six- to eight week period.
