Design Day  - April 17, 2008

Everyone is invited to attend our 11th annual Design Day. This is a unique opportunity for pre-college and college students to interact with and learn what our Mechanical Engineering students are involved in here at the U.

Each Spring the Department of Mechanical Engineering showcases first, third and fourth-year innovative undergraduate design projects. Through organized competitions between their colleagues and interactive displays, students, faculty, staff, and the community are invited to mingle with and discuss these new ideas and designs.

We look forward to seeing you and your group on ME Design Day at the University of Utah Olpin Union Ballroom.
