Future Engineers Day is a daylong event for students in grades 7-11 to learn about engineering through hands-on activities led and taught by current UT students. Future Engineers Day aims to promote engineering where it hasn't been before in a way that allows participants to begin to see themselves as members of the Cockrell School Engineering community.

The event is geared toward students in the greater Austin area in grades 7-11 who are interested in the field of engineering. We want students to start thinking about their futures now and show prospective students that they have a supporting community within the Cockrell School. Everyone is welcome to attend. Activities include a panel of current UT students, a scavenger hunt and hands-on experiments and activities.
