The all-day event will be held in Centennial Hall with visits to other campus sites. Students will engage in planned activities, including classes and team competition, focused on solving simple engineering problems using a Team Concept. Z-Day will introduce students to the field of Architectural Engineering and to attendance at the University. The theme of the day is fun through creative and critical thinking. The winning team receives the prestigious yet superfluous Golden Z Award.
All participants receive incentive awards and gifts.
