Since 1912, the students of the University of Okalahoma have had the pleasure of extending an invitation to area high school students to participate in the Engineering Open House, the oldest and most successful event on the University of Oklahoma campus. High school students from across the state come to Norman each year to sample what the OU Engineering programs have to offer.

Academic testing and engineering design competitions are the highlights of this event. These competitions are designed to allow students to display their knowledge of math, science, and logic areas. The annual Engineering Open House allows tomorrow’s engineers and scientists to get started today.

Academic testing is divided into four categories: mathematics, chemistry, physics and computer science. The engineering design competitions include the egg drop, mouse trap vehicle, model bridge, ping-pong ball launcher, and tower construction. Your students will compete with other students from across Oklahoma, and students who display exceptional knowledge and skill will be awarded medals.

In order for you and your students to better appreciate what the College of Engineering has to offer, information booths and tours of the College of Engineering are available. The tours will allow you to view the three main engineering buildings, to examine projects currently in progress, and to meet representatives from various engineering disciplines.

To show our appreciation for your efforts as a high school counselor, a free counselor reception room with refreshments will be provided.

The students of the College of Engineering sincerely hope that you will make plans to attend our 95th annual Open House.
