“Engineer for a Day” Program

February 14 - 17, 2023

During National Engineers Week, Stark County high school juniors and seniors who are interested in learning about careers in engineering have the opportunity to participate in “Engineer for a Day.” Stark County students spend a day as the guest of a local company that is engaged in engineering activities, and gain first-hand knowledge about the function of an engineer.

When applying to participate in the “Engineer for a Day” program, the student can choose to explore the engineering discipline of his/her choice.

A visit to a host company may include an introduction to the nature of the company’s business and products, a tour of the company’s facilities, and a chance to spend a few hours one-on-one with an engineer.  During the time that the student spends with the host engineer, he or she might be introduced to the vast array of hardware and software that the engineer uses, as well as to examples of the projects and the problems that the engineer works on and solves.

Participating in the “Engineer for a Day” program is rewarding for both the students and the host companies.

Examples of engineering disciplines that are offered by the host companies include Chemical, Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Metallurgical, Industrial, Quality Control, Computer and Construction Engineering.
