Reviews:
"As a parent we sign our children up for summer camps and hope for the best. However, this camp was a good introduction to my son the various type of engineering degrees. The course was taught by actual professors from UT Arlington who teach that discipline of engineering. A good experience for my son to narrow down to what kind of engineering would he be interested in."
