Integrating knowledge, deriving genius. 10 Biodiesel Initiative Biodiesel Initiative The Biodiesel Initiative is a student led organization that converts used vegetable oil from the campus dining halls into fuel for the campus fleet. Location: West Atrium Illinois Student Branch of ASABE BIOE: Frontiers of Medical Care BMES and Bioe Department Bioengineering is the application of engineering principles to address challenges in the fields of biology and medicine. This years display will include human-machine interface for flight control of aerial vehicles, a functioning prototype of sub 100 dollar emergency diagnostic device, computerized medical training dummy. Location: Atrium Career Opportunities in Agricultural and Biological Engineering Agricultural and Biological Engineering Agricultural and Biological Engineers solve engineering problems related to living organisms and systems. Careers are available in bioprocessing, renewable energy, water and air quality, food production systems and other areas. Employment is available in industry, government and academics. Location: West Atrium Agricultural and Biological Engineering Visitors will be given the opportunity to talk with members about club experiences, opportunities through the club and ASABE, and about being a member of the Agricultural and Biological Engineering Robot Communications department.

Location: West Atrium Location: East Atrium super-saturated and when alpha particles pass through the vapor, they ionize the alcohol molecules and form condensation trails. In buildings, the arrangement can also make Radon particles visible. Location: West Floor 1 Interactive Carbon Cycle Engineering Hall Art and Engineering Design iFoundry We are the Art and Engineering Design Team, part of iFoundry. Through opportunities in society, academics, the world of work, and service, along with a special emphasis on the intersection of art and applied science, we strive to highlight the importance of the missing basics in engineering education. Our EOH presentations will be design projects that we have been working on this past semester, which include design improvements on the traditional mouse trap and an improved bicycle basket.
