  • To provide a forum for high school students to meet with Universities and Employers to discuss both academic and working careers in the field of Engineering. 
  • To foster an interest in engineering in younger students by exposing them to engineering in a friendly environment. 
  • To allow the community to see what the School of Engineering is doing to encourage community support and mentoring. 
  • To help raise funds for the CHS Engineering Booster Club.

Yes.

How many people should I bring?

 Ideally 2 to 4 per exhibit. More than 4 will be difficult to accommodate due to the size of the exhibitor tables.

What type of person should we send to represent us?

  • Universities should send engineering faculty member who can answer specific questions about the department of engineering or the types of degrees and coursework offered by your school. Universities should also send students or recent alumni who can relate to students interested in engineering and can answer questions about the ins and outs of managing the coursework required to get an engineering degree. 
  • Businesses should send working engineers who can answer questions about work life as an engineer. Ideally, the exhibit should have information or a demonstration of an interesting project or design that will appeal to a high school student considering a career in engineering.

Will there be food at the EXPO?

Snack concessions will operate from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

Who/what are the Red Jackets?

CHS is fortunate to be represented by a group of students called the “Red Jackets” who act as student ambassadors for CHS. We will assign a Red Jacket to act as your personal host during the Expo. The Red Jackets will be available to answer questions, check on their assigned exhibitors periodically, grab a drink or food when needed, and briefly fill in for the exhibitor when the exhibitor needs a short break.
