Recent projections have suggested a growing national deficit of young engineers entering the profession.  As our region strives to reconfigure its economy toward increased technology and global competitiveness, the community should be commended for its support for the development of youthful interest in the engineering profession.  With over 200 students, engineers and college faculty and advisors participating, few communities, statewide or nationally, can claim influence similar to that of this yearly NW Ohio EFAD program. 

If your organization or school has yet to benefit from this rewarding program, please contact Jennifer Wuertz about participating. 


Engineer for a Day Program. 

The Engineer for a Day Program itself take place on the University of Toledo College of Engineering's campus.  Students check in for a brief program in Nitschke Auditorium, then move in small groups for tours of the Labs.  They all convene again at Nitschke Hall for a casual pizza lunch before departing with their sponsoring companies to shadow for the rest of the day.
