In an ongoing effort to engage students before college in the fascinating field of engineering, the UNL College of Engineering invites your math, science, and industrial technology departments and their students to several events throughout the year on the Lincoln and Omaha campuses. We hope you will find these events informative and engaging and it is our hope that you can forward this information onto the teachers in the correct departments that might have students who would be interested in these opportunities.

Below is a list of our open events for the Fall 2012 with a brief description of each program and the website.
