Engineering exposition - a model for engineering diversity and outreach

In September 2003 the United States Military Academy (USMA) hosted its first annual engineering exposition (Expo). More than just a college fair, the Expo was an evening event to promote engineering at USMA and across the Mid-Hudson (New York) region. The objectives of the 2003 Expo included: 1) Promote engineering and diversity in engineering across all disciplines. 2) Promote membership in engineering societies. 3) Provide an outreach event to local and regional high school and middle school students. The Expo specifically addressed diversity in engineering in the Mid-Hudson region and at USMA. The Mid-Hudson and West Point Student Chapters of American Society of Mechanical Engineering (ASME), Society of Women Engineers (SWE), and American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) supported the event.
