eWeek was founded by the National Society of Professional Engineers in 1951.
Typically held the third week in February.
Aims to increase the understanding of and interest in engineering and technology careers.
LTU engineering student teams compete against Eaton engineering teams.
The teams develop a design idea for a “Problem Statement.”
Teams pitch their idea to competition judges.
Feedback is used to develop a prototype.
Participants and guests vote for their two favorite prototypes.
The team having the prototype with the most votes wins the competition.
Engineering students work on teams that ideate, pitch an idea, and build a prototype that solves a design problem.
Students interact with professional engineers.
All participants enjoy an afternoon of creativity and fun.
The Entrepreneurial Engineering Design Studio champions eWeek by facilitating engineering-related activities.
