Engineering Outreach Bureau
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign - 2024
About Us
EOB is organized and run by members of Engineering Council, a student-run umbrella organization of UIUC's 13 engineering societies.
Our goal is to aid high school seniors in one of the most important decisions of their careers.
The EOB committee is composed of UIUC students representing various years of schooling and engineering disciplines.
Each fall semester, we design a fresh schedule for the upcoming program in the spring.
