The UNL College of Engineering hosts its annual free Open House on Friday, April 12 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Othmer Hall (17th and Vine Streets, at UNL's City Campus in Lincoln).
Students and faculty show off engineering excitement to hundreds of guests including local school groups. At 10:30 a.m., Nebraska astronaut Clay Anderson speaks in Othmer Hall.
Future engineers get hands-on at E-Week Open House with:
- designing protective devices for a 50+-foot EGG DROP off the roof!
- high school BRIDGE BUILDING competition at 1 p.m.
- middle school WIND TURBINE competition at 1:30 p.m.
It’s 100 years since Nebraska Engineering held its first Engineers’ Week and Open House event. Traditions include student project displays and lab tours; new this year is an engineering "Robotics Zone," representing Nebraska in National Robotics Week (April 7-13, 2013). UAVs from NIMBUS Lab, CEENbots and more offer up-close opportunities.
