  Come to Engineering Day (E²-Day) at UNL and learn about careers in Biological Systems Engineering and Agricultural Engineering. Meet professors and students working in these areas and see their research. Learn about degree programs and scholarships. E²-Day also includes hands-on activities and tours of the facilities. Lunch and free parking are provided.
  

• E-Week -- Lincoln

  A tradition since 1913, E-Week recognizes and rewards engineers' accomplishments. Current students celebrate the end of the academic year by participating in the Quiz Bowl, Scavenger Hunt, Root Beer Float Night, and many other activities. The week culminates with the annual E-Week Open House in April, during which senior engineering students and graduate students display their research projects, corporate representatives host booths to promote their companies, and high school students partake in information sessions and hands-on activities that highlight the benefits of becoming an engineer.
  

• N.U.B.E. Camp

  N.U.B.E. Camp is an overnight retreat at Camp Kitaki that gives new engineering students a head start in their transition to college. The camp provides incoming first-year students the opportunity to meet fellow classmates, faculty, and staff. There are a variety of social activities, interactive team building, and important information given by current students, faculty, and staff. The camp is open to students from the Lincoln and Omaha campuses.

• TEAMS (Tests of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics and Science)

  This competition is designed for high school students across the United States as part of Junior Engineering Technical Society (JETS) and focuses on the areas of engineering, mathematics, science, and other related technical fields. The one-day open note and open discussion competition includes a multiple choice test and an essay portion. Schools from across Nebraska participate each year

• Transfer Students' Open House

  Transferring can be a stressful time in a student’s life and the College of Engineering wants to make this an easy transition for students.

• Engineering Exploration Weeks (EEW)

  Sr. High EEW / Jr. High EEW

  EEW consists of one-week summer day camps held at The Peter Kiewit Institute (PKI) for students entering grades 8-9 and grades 10-12. Participating students explore engineering programs available at the college's Omaha Campus. The week is comprised of activities in Architectural, Civil, Construction, Computer and Electronics Engineering. The final day involves traveling to local engineering firms to tour their facilities, meet with current engineering professionals, and learn more about the field of engineering.

• Pre-N.U.B.E. Program

  A tradition that started in 2006, this program is offered the week before classes and provides an opportunity for newly enrolled students to interact with their department's faculty, staff and students. Parents are welcome. For those who have registered for N.U.B.E. Camp, this event is a precursor to that program, but attending N.U.B.E is not a requirement to participate.
  

• PKI Welcome Week

  Since 2001, PKI Welcome Week allows our current students to become more acquainted with the UNL College of Engineering through various activities. The week kicks off with a continental breakfast and is followed by events such as our student resource fairs and industry-sponsored lunches.
