FLINT, Mich.--(Business Wire)--
Kettering University has the faculty, the labs, and the programs
to bring theory and practice together in engineering, business, math,
science and technology better than any other learning environment.
That's why Kettering has planned an open house from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
on Saturday, Aug. 9, at its campus in Flint. "Discover Kettering" is
open to anyone wanting to see how Kettering takes hands-on learning to
the next level, said Frank Hribar, vice president for Enrollment
Services.

   "Kettering has some of the best engineering facilities open to
undergraduates in the world," Hribar explained. "Our faculty will be
in the classrooms and labs, ready to talk to students and parents who
want to experience the campus during our Discover Kettering open
house. You'll have an opportunity to discuss Kettering's majors,
minors, and academic concentrations, such as computer gaming and
system and data security. Kettering's new Pre-Med program will be
featured, too," he added.

   Guests attending "Discover Kettering" Aug. 9 will see Kettering's
Crash Safety Center, the Fuel Cell Center, and labs in acoustics,
lasers, and a wind tunnel. Plus, Kettering's new $1.2 million
Bio-Engineering facilities, the Miller Life Science and
Bio-Engineering Laboratories are also part of the technology that will
be on display during the open house.

   Prospective students and their families will have a chance to meet
current faculty and students, tour campus facilities and find out more
about the Kettering advantage of a real-world education coupled with
real-world job experience. An Expo will allow families to learn more
about student life, including the residence hall and recreation
center, and Flint. Students can meet with admissions, co-op and
financial aid representatives. A panel of current Kettering students
will tell stories about their class and job experiences. A special
session is offered for transfer students.

   Although Discover Kettering is an open house, registration for the
program is preferred by calling (800) 955-4464, ext. 7865, or visit:
