Annual College of Engineering Events:

  • Discover Engineering Days

    The College of Engineering started Discover Engineering Day in 2001 as a way to introduce 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade students and their teachers to the various fields in engineering and the engineering programs offered at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The event is hosted by the college's student organizations and is filled with hands-on activities that apply math, science and creative thinking skills. In 2005, Discover Engineering Day drew more than 500 participants.

  • EWeek

    A tradition since 1913, E-Week is dedicated to recognizing and rewarding engineers' accomplishments. Current students will 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 during which senior engineering 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.

  • NUBE Camp

    An overnight retreat that gives new engineering students a head start in their transition to college. The N.U.B.E. camp will give incoming first-year students the opportunity to meet fellow classmates, faculty, and staff. There will be a variety of social activities, interactive teambuilding, and resourceful information given by current students, faculty, and staff.

  • Rock the Dock

    Rock the Dock is an event started in 2007 that is organized by the College of Engineering to kick off the new school year. This free event is for all current College of Engineering students and includes music, games and food.
