The program is designed to give high school juniors and seniors an opportunity to explore options in six diverse engineering fields, all on the same day. The engineering fields include biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, civil and environmental engineering, electrical and computer engineering, industrial and manufacturing engineering, and mechanical engineering.
