We live in a high-tech society and it is important that young people today become literate about science and technology in order to be productive and contributing citizens. At the open house, we will showcase many different demonstrations and hands-on experiments that illustrate the fascinating work going on in engineering today. In addition, representatives from companies such as Boeing, IBM, Microsoft and Weyerhaeuser will present mini-lectures on the challenges and opportunities engineers face in the working world. Major sponsors of the open house are Microsoft and Visio.
