Inspiring Innovation 1 Concrete Cylinder Design Contest, Balsa Wood Bridge Contest, Concrete Canoe, and Steel Bridge. Come join us in the Crane Bay of Newmark to see what the CEE Department can do. Location: Crane Bay This exhibit is suitable for: All Location: Crane Bay This exhibit is suitable for: All Siebel Center for Computer Science AFS Installable File System Railroad Engineering ASCE and UIUC Railroad Engineering Program See what railroads look like from the inside! Practice running a freight train in a fullscale locomotive simulator, or get a peak at the system used to coordinate the movement of dozens of trains sharing the same track. Students and industry representatives will be available to help you understand how the railroads and the public can work together to keep a 15,000 ton train moving safely. Location: Crane Bay This exhibit is suitable for: All Individual An Installable File System (IFS) implementation of the OpenAFS for Windows Cache Manager. Location: 1st Floor Hallway (between west entrance and room 1210) This exhibit is suitable for: All Siebel Center for Computer Science 201 N. Goodwin, Urbana Map Code: S2 The Thomas M. Siebel Center is the new home to the Department of Computer Science. Cellular Automata Shaking Experience ACM SIGBio Biological cells have certain rules they live by -- when to divide, what genes to express, etc. We model cell growth based on these rules using 3-dimensional cellular automata. Location: Atrium outside room 1302 This exhibit is suitable for: All MUST-SIM/Civil Engineering Department The Exhibit will contain a poster for projects that are currently taking place in the laboratory. In addition, videos and automated PowerPoint presentations will be run on smartboards to demonstrate the effect of earthquakes on structures and people’s lives. There will also be a live demo in the small-scale lab showing an actual structure “shaking” due to an earthquake record. Chess v. 2.0 Individual Like chess? Neither do I. Come check out Chess v. 2.0. Chess v. 2.0 is a combat chess program for head-tohead no holds barred bareknuckle chess combat. It’s like chess but better. Location: 1st Floor Hallway (between west entrance and room 1210) This exhibit is suitable for: All 1969 Civil Engineering Professor Ven Te Chow pioneers the field of watershed hydraulics with an innovative experimentation system that produces storms in the laboratory. Today, the Ven Te Chow Hydrosystems Laboratory at UIUC focuses on four major research areas: Rivers, Sediment Dynamics, Environmental Hydraulics, and Hydraulic Modeling.
