FACULTY OF ENGINEERING
4
The day started with a morning information session with over 100 students from Calabar, Wolmer’s High School for Boys, Wolmer’s High School for Girls, Meadow- brook High, Queens High, and Waterford High in attendance. Presentations were made by the Dean, Dr. Adrian Lawrence, Deputy Deans Dr. Omar Thomas, Dr. Roxann Stennett-Brown, Dr. Lindon Falconer, and Head of Biomedical Engineer- ing Ms. Sasha-Gay Wright. Prizes were awarded to participants who successfully answered questions asked about the presentations. Participants were broken down into groups to facilitate tours of the Electronics and Civil Engineering Laborato- ries, which were staggered along with lunch time, to allow everyone an opportu- nity to see the labs and ask questions. Engineering Classroom B was transformed into an Exhibit Hall, and the visitors were invited in to view the exhibits and demonstrations which were manned and managed by Engineering students. After a three year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the return of Engineering Open Day proved to be quite successful with the 2023 staging being our largest in terms of attendance. High Schools Visits The Faculty’s Outreach Team led by Dr. Omar Thomas, joined the Mona Campus’ Marketing Recruitment and Communications Team as it conducted several high school visits during the academic year. All school visits were conducted face-to-face. Some of the schools visited were: St. Andrew High School (grade 13), Wolmer’s High School for Girls (grades 12 & 13), St. George’s College, Kingston College, and Immaculate Conception High School.
