Students interested in a degree in engineering or computer science - and their parents - are invited to the School of Engineering Expo, Friday, Aug. 20. The event will be outdoors in front of historic Hodgin Hall.
Students will learn about specific majors and opportunities in engineering and meet other students with similar interests. Parents will be introduced to engineering faculty and staff and can discuss strategies to help their children succeed.
The Expo begins at 8 a.m. with announcements and breakfast, followed by a “low ropes” confidence course, to allow new students to meet and build friendships with those who have similar degree interests. Lunch will be served at 11:30 a.m.
Returning students are invited to join new students and their parents for afternoon activities. Beginning at 1:30 p.m., tours of engineering buildings and labs will be conducted and there will be opportunities to learn more about SOE student organizations.
For more information or to register for the Engineering Expo, call Engineering Student Programs at 277-4354 or visit the office at Suite 133 in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Building or the website at: Engineering Student Programs
