Virtual Engineering Exploration Week
October 19 - 24, 2020
Calling all future engineers!
High school and transfer students interested in engineering can meet with student design teams, check out laboratory demonstrations, and learn about engineering careers during our free virtual Engineering Exploration Week.
Explore your engineering future
This year’s virtual event will include even more opportunities to connect with us with multiple days of one-on-one sessions with current students and faculty, scavenger hunts and more.
And since it’s Engineering Exploration Week, you have the opportunity to participate in various webinars, virtual tours, student panels, and more breakout sessions hosted by engineering departments as part of the event experience.
During this event, you will:
- Learn how current students picked their passion
- Tour labs virtually
- Learn about Study Abroad and student clubs
- Talk with faculty members
- Experience a college classroom lecture
