About The Program
Discover Engineering at Kiewit Hall (DEK) is a small-group outreach experience for middle school students held on select Fridays throughout the academic year.
During their visit, students participate in hands-on engineering activities, explore multiple engineering disciplines, and tour Kiewit Hall, Nebraska Engineering’s newest facility. Depending on the day’s activities, students may also visit spaces such as the Design Hub or engineering labs and interact with Engineering Ambassadors, faculty, and industry partners.
DEK is designed to provide a more personalized campus experience while giving students the opportunity to see engineering in action at the college level.
