The 4th Annual Engineer for a Day event will take place on Wednesday, February 12th, 2020. The event will be hosted at the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 4 offices in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Through this exciting student outreach program, high school students interested in a civil engineering career are able to experience what civil engineers do on a daily basis. The event will be divided into two sessions, morning and afternoon. The morning session will consist of local engineering students, professors, and other professional engineers sharing their engineering experiences and how they have become the engineer that they are today. During the afternoon session, the students will be split into smaller groups and will tour local engineering firms. This will allow the students to experience a real engineering environment and learn about projects that are currently under design and construction.
