For the first time, the Society of Women Engineers sponsored a social on Wednesday for all art and engineering students in the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art on Utah State's campus.
According to Adriane Dalton, assistant curator at the museum, the purpose of the social was to allow art and engineering students gain more understanding about the two majors and how they are connected.
When students entered the social they were given a different colored sticker and question card according to which major they belonged to. The cards had questions such as, "What do artists do?" or "What classes to engineers have to take?"
"I think that activity was very beneficial in getting the students to mingle and talk about the differences, but also find out the similarities, within their majors," said Claire Christiansen, an art student.
Dalton said she was pleased with the attendance at the social. She estimated about 25 students came. She said door prizes and a documentary about American sculptor Ruth Asawa were also parts of the event.
Christiansen said she was happy with how the event turned out, and was glad that she chose to attend.
"For me, as an interior design major," Christiansen said, "I love talking to engineers because I'll be working with engineers someday. There are so many connections to be found within art and engineering but most people wouldn't correlate the two."
