Visioneering
Live Event Saturday, February 20, 2010
Moody Coliseum - SMU Main Campus
What is Visioneering?
Visioneering brings together students, working engineers, innovators, and noted national figures from a variety of industries and businesses to celebrate the ways that engineering makes a difference in the world around us. It gives students the opportunity to play “engineer for the day!”
Each year, middle school participants are exposed to the fun and exciting side of engineering. Visioneering sits at the crossroads of a day at the mall, an exciting sporting event, a live concert, and the science fair and delivers the substance teachers and parents want, with the fun kids crave.
Student teams will assisted during the day by a seasoned engineer from the DFW Corporate Community. These professionals will:
- Guide student teams through the conceptual design process.
- Assist students in developing a short oral presentation of their ideas for judging.
- Serve as a mentor to the students – talk about your engineering experience.
Visioneering includes:
- High energy motivational speeches from high tech celebrities
- A major real-time engineering design competition involving groups of students collaborating with working engineers on a specific problem of social significance
- A tech expo showcasing the latest technologies from the nation's leading engineering and technology companies
- An awards ceremony recognizing the top student design projects
- And, all within an MTV™-style setting
