TOURS AND VISITS
For future students, there’s nothing like walking up the big staircase in the Scott Building, asking questions during a one-on-one tour with an engineering ambassador, or talking with current students about their engineering project.
Take advantage of these engineering-specific visit opportunities:
ENGINEERING TOURS
We offer undergraduate student-guided tours of engineering facilities from academic buildings to our Engineering Residential Learning Community.
ENGINEERING EXPLORATION DAY
Fall 2019
A visit day offered for free twice each year, the College invites high school students, their parents, and community members to explore engineering majors and careers.
Engineering Days
Although this is not a traditional visit day, the E-Days design showcase features outstanding opportunities across disciplines to interact with undergraduate students and their projects.
Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day
In partnership with The Society of Women Engineers, the College hosts a fun opportunity for middle school aged girls to discover and learn about the different disciplines of engineering through hands-on activities.
