Auburn University Engineering Day (E-Day) is planned for Friday, February 22, 2013. The hours are from 8 am to 2 pm. E-Day is an excellent opportunity for students to explore the wide range of engineering disciplines. Students can view exhibits, talk with faculty and departmental representatives, and meet with other students who know first-hand what it is like to study engineering.
Students can register at eng.auburn.edu/eday. Once you arrive, you will need to check-in to receive your information packet. E-Day check-in will promptly begin at 8 am. To take full advantage of the activities, it is important to check-in no later than 10:30 am. You are also encouraged to walk to the engineering complex. The dean, Bob Karcher, will be conducting a short introduction about Auburn Engineering in the Shelby Center, and engineering tours will be departing from the Shelby Center Courtyard.
