High School Students Participate as Engineers for the Day During EWeek in San Antonio

The San Antonio, Texas, office of CH2M HILL teamed with the City of San Antonio (COSA) Stormwater Engineering Department to host 11 high school seniors who participated in the Texas Society of Professional Engineers (TSPE) Engineer-for-a-Day Program. During the day, students and CH2M HILL mentors attended the TSPE Proclamation Breakfast, a tour of the Pioneer Flour Mills and the new City of San Antonio engineering offices, the Society of American Military Engineers EWeek luncheon, and a tour of the CH2M HILL Riverwalk expansion project with the San Antonio River Authority. Up close and personal, students saw offices, a manufacturing facility, plan review, meetings, a presentation by the Regional Mobility Authority, and heavy construction. It was an action-packed day but, more importantly, it was an invaluable opportunity for future engineers to be inspired and explore their vocational interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
