History of E-Expo

E-Days

E-Expo was formerly known as E-Days up until an organizational
overhaul was done on the event two years ago.
E-Days occurred at the end of Engineering Week and lasted for three days
each with a main event such as a engineering specific career fair, high school
competitions, and a public day.

E-Expo

Since 2006, E-Expo has been the new form of the traditional
E-Days celebration and has occurred completely within one Saturday. There are three main goals of the Engineering
Expo that have changed little since the beginning of the event. E-Expo must foster a sense of competition
among the Speed School
engineering students as they seek to put their best work on display for the
public and corporate representatives that attend the event. Another valuable objectives is to provide a
means for the students of the Speed School of Engineering to network with companies
in order to establish contacts with the professional world in the form of
informal interviews, co-ops or internships, or even lasting employment. The last requirement of a successful E-Expo
is to promote the University of Louisville
and the Speed School of Engineering to potential students, companies, faculty, and
the general public.

Who is Involved?

In order for this event to become a reality, many students,
professors, and faculty provide their input, professional hours, and volunteer
outside of classes. E-Expo is organized
and run by the Speed School Student Council, one of the largest and most active
student councils of the University of
Louisville’s student body. More information on the student council can
be found on our webpage, www.speedcouncil.org.
This year, the University
of Louisville’s Career Services department
and the Speed Career Development office are teaming up in conjunction with the
Speed School Student Council in order to provide an engineering specific career
fair on Friday February, 29^th as part of this year’s E-Expo. It should be an exciting addition to this year’s
Engineering Exposition.
