Harlan County High School students in Transition to Engineering (T2E) attended a project kick off event at the University of Kentucky last week.

Engineers from the community were stationed at tables. Students presented their project ideas to them for help in bettering the ideas and ways to quantify data.

These year-long projects are a requirement for T2E students to receive college credit for the first two engineering courses offered at the University of Kentucky, University of Louisville and Western Kentucky University.

Students participating were Jimmy Shepherd, Shania Middleton and Elijah Moore.
