For high school students interested in engineering, the week offers many opportunities to explore the field. An open house on Friday, Feb. 24, will provide high school students with the opportunity to enjoy a pizza lunch and meet current engineering students; attend a class (ECE 101: "Introduction to Engineering"); partake in a supervised robotic project activity; and tour the Richard S. Shineman Center for Science, Engineering and Innovation. Due to limited space, students need to register via the oswego.edu/engineering-week website for this day's activities.
