Exhibits

A major component of Expo is the diverse, creative and fantastic exhibits created by the College of Engineering's very own students that fill the halls and rooms of the campus during Expo, providing the attendees a one-on-one experience with those quickly becoming the engineers of tomorrow.

With their hard work spent over many months distilling an interesting idea, project, or piece of research into an exhibit engineering students get the opportunity to showcase what inspires them most to the wide audience that Expo attracts, young and old.

Student exhibits are a central piece of an exciting and enjoyable Expo. And we're counting on you, the talented and creative engineering students, to come up with a range of exhibits that give the Expo attendees an opportunity to learn all about engineering in a fun way.

To learn more about Expo please view our presentation that covers many of the details of creating an exhibit for Expo.

Exhibits will be judged based on a variety of criteria by members of industry and distinguished faculty. Awards will be distributed in four categories: Undergraduate (Individual), Undergraduate (Group), Graduate Student and Student Organization. More information will be available soon.
