On February 20, the Anderson University College of Engineering Advisory Board had their inaugural meeting to discuss the current state of the college. Advisory Board members were pleased with the report and offered ideas for future events for AU’s Engineering students.
On February 21, a Mini Career Fair gave students an opportunity to meet representatives from The College of Engineering’s local industry partners to discuss available engineering career opportunities.

On February 22, there was a drop in at Springdale, the current location of the College of Engineering, featuring a chance to grab a donut or a bagel while enjoying conversation with engineering professors.
Engineering Week wrapped up February 23 with the Engineering Club welcoming guest speaker Steve Dapper, advanced project manager of Procter and Gamble, producer of major brands that include Tide Detergent, Old Spice deodorant and Oral B tooth care products.
