The university’s Engineering Open House is March 13-14, 2015. We will be helping to host a booth at EOH at NCEL Crane Bay to teach visitors about pavement engineering using a fun, edible activity. This annual event is always a great experience that allows us to encourage interest in transportation engineering among young students. If you are interested in helping out on Friday or Saturday, email Rebekah (ryyang3@illinois.edu).
