About Event

The modern world continues to become increasingly complex, the need for those with the skills to solve the problems of tomorrow will only grow in importance. While it might be surprising to hear, engineers may be the only people qualified to solve many of these new problems. Engineering is about finding practical solutions to problems that society is facing; these problems could include climate change, global health issues, the rise of new technologies, and much more. In order to increase awareness about the vast range of opportunities available within engineering, many universities have developed outreach programs to local elementary and high schools wherein they send engineering students and professors to teach classes with a focus on solving engineering problems and creating enthusiasm about the subject. The long-term goal of these programs is to boost enrollment in engineering.
