I think the reason is to encourage students interested in engineering to get 
together and discuss science projects etc. Possibly, they might get some help 
from those of us who know a little bit about the subject and learn something 
in the process.  I know that I have helped a student with a project of using a 
mouse trap to power a small toy car, and have also provided information on 
what engineering is all about.  Anything we can do to encourage students to 
persue the sciences and engineering will be of benefit.  Please excuse any 
gramatical or spelling errors, english was not one of my better subjects :-)
