Engineering Day at Herff

 

Every year, the Herff College of Engineering hosts eDay, providing students from the Mid-South the opportunity to visit the University of Memphis and participate in activities and competitions designed to get them more interested in engineering and STEM-related programs. 

 

 

Get ready — eDay 2026 is coming, and now it’s on Friday!

 

We are excited to announce eDay 2026 will be held Friday, February 27, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. We’ve moved the event to Friday to make it easier for schools to join us for a full day of exploration. The change also supports transportation needs and opens the door for more field trips, homeschool groups and after-school programs to take part. Plus, we’ve extended our hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. so everyone has plenty of time to experience the fun.

Expect more than ever this year with refreshed competitions, new hands-on activities and live demonstrations throughout our engineering spaces. We’re adding details regularly, so check back often and start planning your visit.

Lunch will be available from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Engineering Administration Building lobby (2nd floor). Meals are $5 each, and our convenience store will be open with snacks and drinks.

Check out our list of competitions and events.
