campus-wide lead in `Entrepreneurship Across the Curriculum.`"
Hribar said Kettering has some of the best engineering facilities available to
undergraduates in the world. "Our world-class faculty will be in their labs and
classrooms, ready to talk with students and families who want to experience the
campus and the spirit of the University. You`ll have an opportunity to discuss
Kettering`s renowned cooperative education format, it`s relevant majors, minors
and concentrations, such as chemical engineering, computer gaming and aerospace
engineering. Kettering`s new Pre-Med program will be featured, too," he added.
Registration begins at 9 a.m., followed by a Welcome to all participants at 10
a.m. Guests attending Discover Kettering will see Kettering`s Crash Safety
Center, the Fuel Cell Center, and labs in acoustics, lasers and wind tunnel.
Prospective students and their families will have a chance to meet current
faculty and students, tour campus facilities and attend an Academic Expo from
9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and a University Expo from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Students can
