Rachel Lampman

Rachel Lampman is from Honduras and is interested in Environmental Engineering, a field that she discovered her interest in during her time in Wake Forest Engineering.  She has always been interested in different natural hazards and their effect on the environment. After completing a Natural Hazards Engineering course at Wake Forest Engineering, she was able to join one of her passions to her future career. “Learning how civil engineering and environmental engineering relate is something that I will be able to apply in my future career since some of my family’s business is often affected by environmental factors that can be addressed through civil engineering” Lampman shares. During her capstone senior design course, Rachel has worked with other students as a member of the Tunnel Robot and Remote Sampling and Infrared Camera Hazard Detection System under the guidance of Dr. Hunter Bachman (WFU Engineering), Dr. Kyle Luthy (WFU Engineering), and Dr. Erin Henslee (WFU Engineering). The team has been working to increase the efficiency and safety of tunnel inspections in the tunnels located underneath WFU’s Reynolda Campus by utilizing a tunnel robot design created by the WFU Robotics Club.

Rachel’s favorite course during her time in Wake Forest Engineering was Natural Hazards and her favorite project was Water Filters for Water Pollution, assigned in EGR 112: Introduction to Engineering Measurement and Analysis. Rachel has taken an active leadership role on her college campus, working as the Co-President and President of the WFU Chapter of Students Helping Honduras. In addition to Civil and Environmental Engineering, Rachel has also completed a minor in mathematics.

Rachel plans to return to Honduras and work in multiple family-owned businesses once she completes her undergraduate degree.
