Mechanical Engineering’s first Parents Day had around 100 parents attending. The event began with the introduction from Prof. Frank Chongwoo Park, Department Chair, followed by an introduction of the curriculum and a special lecture from Prof. Heui Jae Pahk (“Mechanical Engineering and Global Vision”). Afterwards, students from the Student Council led the parents on a guided tour of research facilities and university campus. The event concluded with the parent-professor conference where students, parents and professors had a chance to interact freely.

Parents commented that “the event helped [us] to better understand what our kids are studying.”
