UW-Madison: Engineering Expo to be held April 14-16

Thousands of local students will descend on the University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Engineering campus this week for an up-close look at more than 60 interactive exhibits and competitions.

Engineering Expo is a biennial event run entirely by UW-Madison undergraduate students and is open to the public and media. Mechanical engineering student and Expo coordinator David Engeldiner is available to assist media. Contact him at dengeldinger@wisc.edu, 751-923-5558.

“The exhibits will display work by students happening on campus right now, and visitors can get close to the vehicle teams, industry displays and interactive booths,” Engeldinger says. “It’s a chance for younger students to talk to college students and see if they’re interested in engineering.”

Engineering Expo runs April 14-16 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. on Thursday and Friday and 9 a.m.-3 p.m. on Saturday. Tickets are $4 for K-12 students $6 for adults.
