The annual Engineers Week, held Feb. 25-March 2, featured activities ranging from a paper airplane contest to a lecture by cast members of the Discovery Channel’s “Mythbusters” television show.
Engineers Week aims to increase the visibility of the School of Engineering and Applied Science on the Danforth Campus, offer collaboration between various engineering groups and promote interaction between students, alumni, faculty, staff and engineering professionals. It’s also a time for some creative learning and fun on the part of the students.
