Engineers Week 2014, from Feb. 16-22, features a variety of events centered around the Space Race that bring engineering to life for students, educators and the campus community.
Beginning with free doughnuts at the Underpass between the South 40 and the Main Campus and the Dean’s Breakfast on Monday morning, the week will include a panel exploring alternative careers in engineering; an etiquette dinner; a panel discussing the book “Lean In”; Cheap Lunch with representatives from Deloitte; and lectures featuring alumnus Mark Barteau and Steve Squyres, principal investigator of the Mars Exploration Rover Mission.
In addition, there will be an IdeaBounce event for entrepreneurs to present their ideas to a panel and a variety of contests, including butter sculpting, paper airplanes and Penny Wars, a fundraiser for the Relay for Life team.
EnWeek is designed to increase the visibility of the School of Engineering & Applied Science on our campus, celebrate how engineers make a difference in the world, increase public dialogue about the need for engineers.
