The Explore engineering@iowaprogram provides an opportunity for future students of the College of Engineering to learn more about what makes our College an exceptional educational choice. Each program includes:
- A student panel
- Demonstrations by faculty members and tours of interesting research labs
- Breakout sessions with current students
- An optional walking campus tour and general information session in the morning (Contact the Admissions Visitors Center at 1-800-553-IOWA.)
- Door prizes, including tee shirts and Engineering "start-up" awards!
Throughout the day, we hope to give you insight on why Iowa’s engineering program is a great option for bright students like you.
