The John and Marcia Price College of Engineering provides specific one day events at elementary schools, junior high, and high schools. If you would like to find out more information on these offerings please visit their outreach website.
If you would like a smaller event with one or two classes or a group of kids, the Department is here to assist you to the best of their ability. The visit can include a presentation on what civil and environmental engineers do, and an activity relating. The activity will relate to the curriculum that the student will be learning about throughout the year.
