The Department of Industry and Technology will welcome more than 150 high school students to campus for its annual fall conference Oct. 19.

While the rest of campus is quiet for fall break, students, parents and teachers visiting from nine high schools will tour the university and learn about undergraduate programs in the department.

The highlight of the day will be various team competitions, with students designing unique vehicles, creating new packaging systems, solving calculator problems and working on other technology-based projects.

Most events will take place within the Applied Technology building.
