Engineering Open House
(EOH)
EOH is like a giant science fair covering
all engineering disciplines
It will take place March 8-9, 2002
ECE projects tend to be in short
supply—we are here to change that
How it works
Without HKN:
You have the idea, but cannot
convert without resources.
With HKN:
You have the idea, HKN helps
organize resources and your
idea becomes reality.
How it works (cont)
Anyone (member or not) is welcome
Plenty of room for people who want to
work on an ECE-related project without
being a “leader”
HKN will provide organizational
leadership, and resources (i.e. $$$) to
make it happen
Interested?
Meeting to discuss ideas/get started
3pm Saturday September 8, 2001
Student Lounge Everitt Lab
