Engineers' Weekend

Prospective Students: Come learn more about us!

Every year, the Messiah College Engineering Department invites high school juniors and seniors to learn more about us by coming to Engineers' Weekend. Engineers' Weekend dates for Spring 2009 are February 20-21 and March 6-7.

Purpose: A gathering of prospective engineering students to:

1. Meet other interested students and get to know Messiah's Engineering faculty,
2. Learn more about engineering practices and studies,
3. Hear how faith can inform the engineering of Christians, and
4. Have some fun in the engineering laboratories!

Activities:

1. Stay overnight in Messiah College housing, hosted by engineering students.
2. Join a design team and compete with others in our design challenge.
3. See a sampler of  Messiah College's Engineering student run projects, clubs and organizations.
4. Hear how God is calling Messiah engineering students to serve Him through local and international projects.

Attendees: A maximum of 25 persons who have an interest in engineering can be accepted at each Engineers' Weekend. If we have more interest than available spots we will give preference to:

1. Persons who are accepted for admission at Messiah College, and
2. Those who register early

Please also note that for the February date preference will be given to students who are also attending Accepted Students Preview Day.

Family: While the Friday activities and overnight stay is available for prospective students only, parents and other family members are invited to attend a reception and visit our laboratories at 2:00 PM Saturday, as well as attend the Design Play-Offs at 3:00 PM on Satuday. Both of these events occur in Frey Hall.

Nominal Fee: The $20 registration fee partially offsets our expenses for meals and supplies. You are responsible for transportation to and from the college.

Accomodations: Attendees will stay overnight with Messiah Engineering students in a dormitory room or apartment. Please bring your overnight belongings and a sleeping bag.

Below are some pictures from a previous Engineers' Weekend.  The activities pictured involved some warm-up games lead by Issachar's Loft, a design contest (which involved using Legos to kill a dragon and rescue a princess), and presentations by different student groups.
 

	I didn't know they had traffic jams in Grantham!
	Is this the corner?
	You want us to do what?
	This is going to take some energy.
	We've only got 5 minutes left, but I'm sure we can still make this work!
	The lego pieces won't break apart.  They won't break apart!
	We can rescue that princess!
