Sarah Nesmith, a sophomore industrial engineering student, is pictured attending the first GirlTREC Camp in 2017. This year, Nesmith helped lead camp as an ambassador. Nesmith remembers how important it was that young women encouraged her to pursue engineering when she was a girl. She hopes that campers hearing her story about being a camper at their age — and now seeing her as a GirlTREC ambassador — gives other girls the confidence to know that they can succeed on a path to careers in engineering. "To develop the engineering workforce of the future, we must expose students to engineering and science at a young age and show them how engineering careers are fun, challenging and critically important," says Heather Nachtmann, MarTREC Center leader, professor of industrial engineering and the Earl J. and Lillian P. Dyess Endowed Chair. GirlTREC Camp Video??: https://lnkd.in/gN977V24 Full article: https://lnkd.in/g73YD3W4 MarTREC is a U.S. Department of Transportation University Transportation Center.

??Campers!! We've got a few spots left! . The College of Engineering is hosting its annual girls' transportation engineering summer day camp, GirlTREC, at the U of A campus July 8-12. The camp is designed for sixth and seventh-grade girls with a focus on hands-on activities related to transportation engineering. The activities consist of transportation-related field trips (train ride, virtual reality driving, drone in action) interacting with industry experts and engaging with engineering faculty and students.
