Colorado State University Hosts Engineering Careers Day For High- School Students
Wednesday, October 8, 1997
FORT COLLINS--Engineering careers can be explored by Colorado
high-school students, teachers and parents Oct. 11 from 9 a.m.-3 p.m.
at Colorado State University's Engineering Careers Day. The event will
be held in the Engineering Building on campus.
"We will provide an engineering open house where participants can
view lab demonstrations, discuss engineering majors and careers with
faculty, and learn about undergraduate study and life at Colorado
State," said Tom Siller, College of Engineering acting associate dean.
Colorado State engineering professors will describe the
university's bioresource and agricultural, chemical, civil,
electrical, environmental, engineering science and mechanical
engineering programs.
"We realize that many students who choose engineering as their
major are uncertain about what will be expected of them. Careers Day
is our focal point to inform high school students about majors and
careers in engineering and the engineering environment here at
Colorado State University," Siller said.
Participants can tour the college's biochemical, electrical,
geotechnical, mechanical, robotics and student computer laboratories,
and there will be afternoon panel discussions with current engineering
students. In addition, a session geared primarily for women and
minority students in engineering will be offered. A representative
from the Office of Financial Aid will be on hand to discuss
scholarships and financial aid.
The event is free and registration can be done over the phone in
advance or in person at 9 a.m. the day of the event in the south
hallway of the Engineering Building. An optional lunch will be
available for $6.50. Those planning to buy the lunch should register
in advance.
For more information or to register for the day, contact Linda
Jensen in the College of Engineering at (970) 491-6220.
