Annual Engineers Fair
The Puget Sound Engineering Council (PSEC) 
hosts an Engineering Fair in
conjunction with local chapters of engineering societies, colleges, and
businesses. The Engineering Fair generally has about 25 display booths, staffed
by practicing engineers and technical people representing many types of
engineering disciplines. In addition, 
the Fair also features a
hands-on design competition on site (The Popsicle Stick Bridge Load Competition
sponsored by the American Society of Civil Engineers). More information on the
contest can be found at www.seattleasce.org/ymf.
The Fair provides a fun, visible way to see and hear about the various types of engineering disciplines, as well as encourage students to think about engineering as a career. This is an annual event that coincides with National Engineers Week in February.
The event is open to the public, with the target audience being K-12 students and their parents. There is no admission required to enter the Fair, which will occur in the Museum of Flight’s Side Gallery on Saturday Feburary 9th, from 10 AM to 4 PM. However, entry into the museum portion of the Museum of Flight is required.
