On Friday, as part of Engineering Week 2014 and the company's ongoing activities to promote the STEM subjects of science, technology, engineering and math, Ingalls Shipbuilding will host students from three middle schools to learn about engineering as it pertains to shipbuilding. The students will also be involved in a friendly, hands-on competition involving engineering projects. The three schools participated in a can engineering program, where the students collected cans and are required to use engineering principles to build a can engineering structure. This year's theme is "Batman." The students were judged by Ingalls executives, and an awards presentation will be made following the competition.
