Students in the College of Engineering and Applied Science will apply their design skills and engineering know-how for sheer fun as they compete in the annual College Egg Drop and Design Expo, highlights of Engineering Days 1999 at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
Engineering Days is a weeklong event organized by students each spring, combining community service, engineering and fun activities. Throughout the week, the University of Colorado Engineering Council will solicit old computers from area companies to be donated to community users through the 抖阴短视频 Office of Community Relations.
