Approximately 500 middle and high school students from 12 schools across the state filled the Missouri S&T campus for Engineering Day on Feb. 26.
“As one of the nation’s top engineering schools, we enjoy welcoming these students,” says Dr. David Borrok, vice provost and dean of S&T’s College of Engineering and Computing. “We’re glad to offer hands-on activities and live demonstrations that help them learn more about engineering, and how an engineering education can prepare them to help solve some of the world’s most complex challenges.”
The event was hosted by the Kummer Center for STEM Education during National Engineers Week, observed Feb. 22-28.
