Miami, FL (February 19, 2007) - Wednesday, February 21, 2007, will be proclaimed Environmental Engineering Day in Miami-Dade County by Mayor Carlos Alvarez. This event is being sponsored by Florida International University’s College of Engineering and Computing.
An afternoon of events is scheduled including, distinguished speaker Dr. Patrick L. Brezonik, Program Director, Environmental Engineering National Science Foundation, who will address the group following the Mayoral Proclamation.
This event is being held during National Engineering Week, which ends with the college’s 6th annual Engineering Gala. This is the largest event of its kind in South Florida. As many as 800-1000 Miami-Dade and Broward public school students, from elementary through community college, will descend upon the Engineering Center for a day-long, interactive demonstration of engineering.
This is the one day of the year when research and learning labs at the Engineering Center open their doors to anyone other than their own faculty and students. Visitors will be introduced to various and distinct fields within engineering through a series of hands-on displays such as robotics and model bridges. One of the highlights is a remote control plane that has been equipped with a live video feed, providing an aerial perspective of the event as it happens. The activities are designed to promote interest in math, science and engineering.
