For Students

Engineering is more than coursework. It’s about understanding how what you’re learning connects to real careers, real opportunities, and real decisions about your future.

CAMP gives you direct access to engineers who have already taken that path—so you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Why Join CAMP?

You don’t need to have everything figured out to benefit from mentorship. CAMP is designed to help you gain clarity, confidence, and direction—no matter where you are in your journey.

Through one-on-one connections with alumni, you can start to see what your future in engineering can actually look like.

What You’ll Gain

• Real insight into internships and career paths
• Honest answers about the engineering profession
• Guidance on preparing for interviews and opportunities
• Perspective on different industries and roles
• A connection with someone who understands your experience

What You Can Talk About

Not sure what to ask? That’s normal.

Your mentor is there to help you navigate questions like:

• What can I do now to prepare for internships?
• What is this major really like in the real world?
• How do I stand out to employers?
• What career paths exist beyond what I already know?
• How do I transition from school to a full-time job?

There’s no script. The goal is to have real conversations that help you move forward.

Who Should Participate

CAMP is designed for Whitacre College of Engineering junior and senior students who are preparing for internships and full-time roles.

• Juniors preparing for internships and career opportunities
• Seniors getting ready to enter the engineering workforce
• Students who want real-world insight from industry professionals
• Students looking to build meaningful connections with alumni

If you want clarity about your future, this program is for you.

How Participation Works

Eligible junior and senior students are automatically included in CAMP and matched with an alumni mentor based on their academic and career interests.

What to Expect

• You’ll be matched with an alumni mentor based on your interests
• You’ll connect on a schedule that works for both of you
• Conversations can happen virtually or in person when possible
• The experience is flexible, but the impact can be lasting

The more you put into the experience, the more you’ll get out of it.

Make the Most of Your Experience

Mentorship works best when you take initiative.

• Come prepared with questions
• Be open to feedback and advice
• Stay consistent with communication
• Take action on what you learn

This is your opportunity—make it count.

You Don’t Have to Figure It Out Alone

Every engineer starts somewhere. CAMP gives you the chance to learn from someone who has already faced the same questions and decisions you’re working through now.
