We had so much fun last week at ChemE camp! 🧪📝 These excellent students from across the nation got to experience so many incredible things! They got to do a site visit with BASF, another visit at Valero, and compete in a miniature ChemE Car competition to see who's car could get the closest to the line. 🚗🧫🧑‍🔬⚙️

We are so excited by these amazing students, and so grateful for our staff, faculty, and students who make this camp happen! ❤️

Calling all incoming freshman, transfers, and Texas Academy students! 🗣️📣 Registration for Engineering Bootcamp is now open! ➡️🔗lamar.edu/engineeringbootcamp

Our newest SEC officer Hannah had this to say about her experience at Bootcamp last year ➡️ "Coming in as a freshman, Engineering Bootcamp really helped me adjust to college and what’s expected in my major. It pushed me to think differently, manage my time better, and work with others on real problem-solving. My favorite part was getting to collaborate with other students and realizing we were all figuring it out together."⭐😍

Shout it out! The wait is over, our 2026 grads have crossed the stage. We are so proud of you! 🎓❤️
