About HSC
Our High School Conference is an annual two-day conference for high school juniors and seniors to be exposed to various engineering-oriented activities that will give them an idea of what being an engineering major looks like. The participants will also take part in several Texas A&M traditions and be taken on campus tours to get to know our university and its culture.
Registration for our 50th Annual High School Conference has not opened yet. If you are interested in attending HSC 2026, please fill out our interest form to receive updates on when registration for our conference opens!

Officers
Howdy! My name is Audrey Bui, and I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major from Austin, TX. I got involved in SWE during my freshman year where I was a member of the Outreach, High School Conference, and SWElites Socials Committees. In my sophomore year, I continued to be on the HSC Committee and was also a co-counselor for the SWElites Service Committee. This year, I am excited to serve as one of the HSC Co-Chairs! In my free time, I love watching Formula 1, crocheting, listening to K-pop, and watching movies and K-dramas. I can't wait to see what this year brings!
