Engineering Design Innovation Camp Engineering

Members of the staff will be present throughout the program. Trained undergraduate mentors will live in the residence hall with students and coordinate daily activities. Westmont's assistant director of residence life supervises the mentors and serves on-call for the duration of the program.

Residential students should plan to arrive on Sunday, June 14, at 2 pm and depart on Friday, June 19, at 2 pm. 

We expect that you will check in with your son or daughter directly by email, cell phone, text and/or other remote means. In cases of emergency when you cannot reach your son or daughter directly, please contact resident director. 

We encourage you to view this brief period as a valuable opportunity for your student to practice navigating independence before fully transitioning into young adult life away from home. To support thi experience, we kindly ask that you refrain from planning visits to campus while the program is in session. Parents and guardians are warmly invited to join us on Friday morning for a closing luncheon, where students will present their design pitches.

Should your son or daughter become ill or injured, our staff will quickly assess the situation to determine whether it is necessary to seek medical treatment at the local emergency room or walk-in clinic. If transport is necessary, two members of our staff will accompany your son or daughter. Our staff will certainly be in touch with you in this event. Please ensure that your son or daughter brings a copy of his or her health insurance card. Fees for services will be the responsibility of the student and his or her parents.

Activities both within and beyond the classroom may include a visit to the zoo, beach, museum, and Santa Barbara's Wharf.
