Welcome to the Dr. Manuel P. Berriozábal Pre-freshman Engineering Program
Congratulations The Dr. Manuel P. Berriozábal Pre-freshman Engineering Program Students! ¡Felicidades!
Thank you PREP Teachers and Peer Mentors! ¡Gracias!
This summer, close to 350 students completed the The Dr. Manuel P. Berriozábal Pre-freshman Engineering Program 4 1/2 weeks of STEM-focused courses that took place June 14th - July 14th at different campuses around San Antonio. Students were guided by their teachers to discover the engineering design process, made sense of physics in action, learned and used statistics, considered innovations in nanotechnology, and some even spent time as research interns. They engaged in hands-on projects, heard from motivating guest speakers, and participated in campus tours, student-led symposiums, and field trips.
Students, watch your emails for announcements about upcoming PREP alum get-togethers and other fun opportunities. We hope you have a great school year and come back for more PREP next summer!
We sincerely thank our awesome summer instructional staff of teachers, peer mentors, staff, and graduate, undergraduate workers and volunteers. We could not have done it without you and hope to see you again next summer.
