Spring 2011
Engineering Events
Location: PVCC
PVCC hosted two Engineering Events events this spring, which will include guest speakers and engineering activities for interested students and their families. These events provide information about the field of engineering and give students the opportunity to experience engineering hands-on through a design challenge (with prizes!). They also include a student panel of past and present PVCC engineering students who will talk about their experiences and answer questions. Information on PVCC registration, financial aid and scholarships were also available.
