Dance offs, pie-eating contests, dodgeball tournaments, even lip syncing. It's E-Week at the Cockrell School of Engineering, and engineering students are proving that even though they may be known for excelling in math and science, they know how to have fun, too.
Starting Friday, Feb. 17, students will participate in a wide array of quirky activities in celebration of National Engineers Week. The weeklong friendly competition, known as E-Week at the Cockrell School, is meant to demonstrate the vital role of engineers in society. The event, which continues through Feb. 25, is free, open to the public and uses humor, colorful visuals and — at times — amazingly creative and complex competitions to celebrate National Engineers Week, a nationwide event that runs concurrently.

The national event was started in 1951 by the National Society of Professional Engineers to increase public awareness and appreciation of the engineering profession and its contributions to society.
