Engineering Technology Challenge

The TSPE Bexar Chapter in association with the University of Texas at San Antonio sponsors the Engineering Technology Challenge (ETC). The contest is open to all high school students within the San Antonio Metropolitan Area.

Our goal in sponsoring the Engineering Technology Challenge is to increase interest and enthusiasm for science and engineering in high school students. We want all high school students in the San Antonio area to have an opportunity to compete at this event, and want to supply you with all the information and support we can to help your school become involved.

We hope you will join the excitement of the competition. Please contact Carlos Sanchez, P.E. @ (210) 349-2277 or JSanchez@hntb.com for participation, sponsor and volunteer information.
