About
The College of Engineering started Discover Engineering Day in 2001 as a way to introduce middle school 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.
