<p>Anyone go to the Engineering Preview Day before? I'm going tomorrow and I was wondering what exactly we do. Are students and parents together or do they have separate events?</p>
<p>Are you doing the engineering preview or the Spring Open House for admitted students?</p>
<p>Open House [University</a> of Maryland -](<a href=“http://www.admissions.umd.edu/admitted/springopenhouse.cfm]University”>http://www.admissions.umd.edu/admitted/springopenhouse.cfm)
also has a link to a sample agenda.</p>
<p>The Open House is for students and parents. I think the engineering preview is just in the Fall but Engineering also has information sessions every Friday.</p>
<p>No, I’m going to this one.

<p>@yodelo, now that you’ve gone, can you share the answer to the question about whether it’s just for students or parents go also. How was it? What did you do?</p>
<p>Sure!</p>
<p>It was a pretty long event. 2 hours of meet and greet, where both students and parents mingle with current engineering students and faculty to learn more about upcoming events, opportunities and different programs available.</p>
<p>During that 2 hour time frame, there was a Women in engineering program that was available.</p>
<p>Then, the last 2 hours the parents and students split up. Both learned more about the various departments, but the students also worked on a team project together. The project was definitely the best part and totally worth going :)</p>
<p>I thought it was a fantastic opportunity! I met a lot of people and even made a new friend! Oh- and there was plenty of pizza and soda for everyone, 5 boxes leftover!</p>
