MAES is not the only on-campus engineering organization that holds recruitment programs. Other engineering organizations, such as the Society of Women Engineers, also hold events for high school students.
However, Suarez and DeLeon both feel that with MAES, hosting the experience will be different.
DeLeon said he intends to stress the importance of the "familia," or family quality of the organization. The family aspect is not only a chapter characteristic, but a national characteristic as well.
"The familia quality of MAES is important because it makes members feel welcomed and comfortable within the organization," he said.
DeLeon said the familia quality allows the students to embrace what is being exposed to them.
Suarez said the members of the organization will introduce what MAES is about and let them know that the organization will be there for them if they have any questions.
Suarez also said she expects students to have a good experience at the event.
"The (students) will leave having visited the best University in the nation, experienced some of its traditions, learned about what they can do in the future and gained some new friends," she said.
