On Monday the College of Engineering had a free meal for the students, faculty, and staff that consisted of a subway sandwich, chips, soda, and a nice size cookie. There was also a speaker who came out and gave a small discussion. On Tuesday, the college had a soccer tournament and a winch and cart race. In regards to the soccer tournament, it was a pretty big event and a lot people came out to play. Even though I did not play in the tournament I still hung out with friends and attempted to learn how to juggle a soccer ball. The winch and cart race was a drag race in which people built dragsters that are powered by solar energy. There was cash price for the contestants that came in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.
On Wednesday there was a CANstruction competition in which different engineering organizations collected cans throughout the week and built a structure. The cans will be going to the Denton Community Food Center. On Wednesday night, the college had game night which could not be at a better time since I had a class at night that was having a homework session. During the break I was able to go downstairs, eat a lot of pizza, and tryout the Xbox Kinect for the first time. The Kinect made for good workout after eating. Thusday was the engineering career fair in which various companies from around the DFW area came out looking for student internships and full time positions. It was a pretty good event that gives students a chance to network and practice interviewing skills. Tomorrow will be community outreach for a school out in the area. This will give engineering students a chance to talk with children and teach them a little about engineering and possibly encourage them to one day study it.
As you can see Engineers Week at Discovery Park has a lot for students, faculty, and staff to do.
Fight the Good Fight
Ya Boy Archie Wright!
