A tradition that began in 1965, Engineers’ Week (E-Week) is a staple event within the College of Engineering, continuing to grow each year. E-Week is a student
organization that serves to celebrate the engineering field, the College of Engineering, and its students, faculty, and staff. E-Week hopes to provide a way for students to build relationships with other students, faculty and alumni as well as network and increase professional development.
This year, E-Week will have a multitude of events ranging from keynote speaker, Clayton Anderson, to learning more about student’s and professor’s research at the research symposium. Many E-week events are open to faculty and staff in addition to students.
