GRANTHAM, Pa. (April 9, 2009) – For its sixth annual School of Mathematics, Engineering and Business Student Scholars’ Expo, Messiah College invites local business leaders, corporations, students, alumni and friends to meet faculty and students, visit the facilities, view senior project presentations and learn more about the quality programs the school offers. The Scholars’ Expo will be held on May 1 from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. in Frey Hall academic building on the college’s Grantham campus. For more information, contact Lori Zimmerman at (717) 796-5360.
Project presentations for the Student Scholars’ Expo cover a variety of topics and concerns. Students are often encouraged to develop projects whose aim is addressing social concerns. Projects in the past have involved the development of a wind-solar hybrid energy system, experiments with biodiesel production, and website development for non-profit organizations. Such projects reflect the mission of the School of Mathematics, Engineering and Business to “graduate students who are competent in their disciplines, broadly educated in the liberal arts, aware of the ethical challenges and dilemmas of a fallen world and prepared to be lifelong learners.”
