Engineer for a Day Scheduled for February 26, 2026

 

 

OKC Metro Area Companies: Sign up to be an Engineer for a Day Host!

OSPE is making preparations for 2026 Engineer for a Day scheduled for February 26, 2026. We would like to invite you and/or your company to participate in this valuable program and allow students to shadow professional engineers at your place of business. In years past, we’ve received expressions of interest and gratitude from students, parents, and school administrators for this program. Your participation can have a tangible effect on the lives of high school students who are interested in pursuing engineering as a career. There are students who make the decision to pursue engineering because of a single event such as Engineer for a Day.

Approximately 50 area high schools will nominate bright and eager students that would like to find out what an engineering career is all about. The need is great – in recent years, we've had to restrict participation to high school seniors because more students expressed interest that could be hosted.

We hope we can count on you this year. For more information and to sign up as a host, CLICK HERE.  We ask that you register by Friday, January 23, 2026 to be a host.
