College-wide events

Please join the Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME) for an open house hosted by the student group She is ME.

Members of the Class of 1974 are invited to join other alumni who graduated more than 50 years ago to catch up with classmates, reconnect with faculty, and take a look ahead at new initiatives, innovative research, and the students of today as they become the leaders of tomorrow. Registration opens in March.

Join us for the next Department of Chemistry Lunch & Learn! Professor Erin Carlson will present "Chemical Tools to Eradicate Bacterial Resistance." Lunch from Apple Spice Catering and a collectible UMN Chemistry element magnet will be provided to all registrants. Space is limited, register today!

If you’ve never seen a physicist drop 20 feet through thin air while a friend shoots a ball at him from a cannon, or grown men and women shooting streams of toilet paper over an audience with a leaf blower, the University of Minnesota Physics Force has a show for you!

Flames, explosions, music, and dancing—they're all part of a fun and high-energy University of Minnesota College of Science and Engineering outreach program that aims to interest young people in science. Learn about energy during this 50-minute interactive show that includes demonstrations, dancing, bright flashes, loud noises, and flames! The show is open to all, but is best suited for third grade and up. 

We are excited to announce that a Coating Process Fundamentals Short Course will be offered on the Twin Cities campus of the University of Minnesota!

Join the Mechanical Engineering Alumni Network for a spring gathering featuring an open house of the Mechanical Engineering Building's fourth floor engines teaching labs in honor of Professor David Kittelson's retirement.

The University of Minnesota College of Science and Engineering (CSE) invites you and a guest to a complimentary informal gathering at Karbach Brewing Company.

The Data Science Initiatives spring research workshop on Generative AI aims to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange within the UMN research community.

If you are looking for educational summer activities for K-12 students, CSE offers a variety of programs for youth to engage and build capacity through immersive, on-campus explorations of science, engineering, technology, or mathematics.
