In March 2006 the Minority Engineering Program in the College of Engineering hosted its first annual “Is Engineering for Me?” program for students in sixth through tenth grades. The goal of the day-long event is to introduce students to engineering as they explore what engineers do and how they contribute to society. In addition to hands-on engineering challenges, such as designing and constructing a Lego® building that can withstand the Notre Dame shaker table as it simulates a Magnitude 4 earthquake, students learn about high school and college requirements for engineers.
