High school students build pop bottle rockets
during an open house sponsored by UT Tyler
electrical and mechanical engineering departments
April 3. More than 60 juniors and seniors
from Lindale, Whitehouse and Chapel Hill visited
the university to learn about career opportunities
in engineering. Participants took part in
hands-on activities led by UT Tyler engineering
students and faculty.

Dr.
Jeffrey Mountain, assistant professor of mechanical
engineering, provides guidance to students
who participated in the building and launching
of pop bottle rockets.
