This Tuesday, DuBois Central Catholic High School students visited Penn State DuBois Campus for Discover Engineering Day. The day highlights engineering careers and education through hands-on activities and discussion.
During the morning, students learned about what kinds of jobs engineers do through coding and building. These hands-on activities gave students a chance to understand the engineering process. They had to work in groups to design a concept that would solve a problem, then build, test, then redesign their projects. The activities and discussion were led by Penn State’s Engineering Ambassadors. After lunch and a tour of the campus, our students ended the day with a question-and-answer session with the Engineering Ambassadors to learn about education and career paths in the engineering field.
The day was a great opportunity for students to learn about an interesting field with a wide variety of career paths.
