E-Day at the University of Kentucky College of Engineering

From building bridges and discovering medication to writing software — Engineers Day, or E-Day, is the UK College of Engineering’s celebration of science, technology and engineering. Students of all ages can engage with exhibits, competitions and demonstrations designed by engineering companies, researchers and college students.

A decades-long tradition, UK Engineering held its first E-Day on May 26, 1921. The university dismissed classes at noon to allow the community to tour the college and see its researchers and students in action.

Now, an estimated 3,000 people attend E-Day each year.

Approximately 100 contests, demonstrations and exhibits will engage and entertain, and teach a lesson or two in STEM, at this year’s 100th E-Day celebration.
