Schedule a Visit



Students are encouraged to visit us at Mackay! Come learn about the majors in the earth sciences and related engineering fields. Sit in on a college class. Find out about internship and research opportunities, see the labs and talk with faculty and current students. What better way to investigate the opportunities first hand than to visit.

National Engineer's Day at UNR provides another opportunity for interested high school students to see the labs on campus. The date is always in February, the Tuesday after the President's Day holiday.
