Engineering Week

• During the week of February 19 – 22, 2008, the Alpha Pi Mu Honor Society joined other engineering associations in an event for High School students. Each association sent a few of their members to speak about their engineering field to the students that were visiting. Also, the Alpha Pi Mu provided a tour in the Industrial Engineering Department in which we took the students around the classrooms and told them a little bit about what each class was about. We also gave them a tour around the manufacturing facility in the Industrial Engineering building.
