14 EOH 2006 model of a modern nuclear power plant complete with working cooling towers. Location: Hallway near 151 This exhibit is suitable for: All sample some cheese along the way! Room Number: 143 This exhibit is suitable for: All Pleasant Odors Do You Know? • The purpose of the first Electrical Engineering Show in 1907, a precursor to EOH, was to raise funds in order to contribute to a memorial in honor of steamboat inventor Robert Fulton. • The first Engineering Open House was held in 1920 to commemorate the centennial of the birth of James Watt. Float’n Illini Float’n Illini The Float’n Illini is a student run research group that conducts experiments in a simulated weightless environment as part of the NASA Reduced Gravity Research Program. Learn about the experiments we have be working on this year and see a demonstration on how we achieve weightlessness. Location: Hallway near 151 This exhibit is suitable for: All AIChE Come discover what makes you smell good. Find out how some of your favorite scents are created using esters. Choose from pineapple, banana, rum, apricot, orange, or wintergreen and we will make you a sample while you learn how these compounds are produced on an industrial scale. Room Number: 143 This exhibit is suitable for: All Renewable Energy? More Power to You! Pop Rockets and Paper Airplanes Futures in Fusion! Float’n Illini Have you ever wanted to build a rocket? The Float’n Illini will be teaching participants how to build little pop rockets from every day items and give them a chance to use the same principals that we use on our experiments. Room Number: 151 This exhibit is suitable for: gs AIChE Ever wonder what the world after fossil fuel will be like? Or how much longer fossil fuel will last? Come see our solar car harnessing the energy of the sun. Discover the ways renewable energy can impact our world. Room Number: 143 This exhibit is suitable for: All Students for Space ANS See the tremendous power behind a magnetic can crusher and ring launcher. Although for the time being commercially available fusion is not achievable we hope to one day make that a reality. Hear about the fantastic developments in fusion and witness the future! Room Number: 151 This exhibit is suitable for: All ChemE Car AIChE Come explore the exciting field of alternate fuel sources and see how an electrochemical reaction can be used to power a small car. Room Number: 143 This exhibit is suitable for: All Kraft’s World of Cheese Illinois Space Society Illinois Space Society is the University of Illinois’ chapter of Students for the Exploration and Development of Space. SEDS is a group of students from all over the world working together to create a space-faring society. http://illinois.seds.org/ Location: Southwest Lobby This exhibit is suitable for: All Nuclear Demonstrations ANS Check out nuclear technology in the everyday world. See a plasma in a microwave, use a Geiger counter to take radiation readings of radioactive dinner plates, smoke detectors and other items. See next generation nuclear power plants as well as a AIChE Cultures throughout the world have altered cheese’s flavor, taste, texture, and production to fit their personal needs, but how? Through a series of complex procedures, cheese has evolved from homemade churned cheese to large mass productions. Come uncover these mysteries and SpaceVision2005 Illinois Space Society What does it take to completely change the world’s views about space exploration? This past year, some of the field’s top achievers gathered in Champaign for SpaceVision2005, an international conference of space enthusiasts and creative minds. http://www.seds.org
