At the dawn of the 20th century, it became the policy of various departments to sponsor shows and open houses at which time the students and faculty would collaborate on demonstrations and lectures. In 1906, the Department of Physics held its first annual Open House, becoming the precedent and inspiration for the present-day Engineering Open House. This showing of departmental equipment was held in the laboratories of Engineering Hall, where the Physics Department was located at the time. The exhibits centered around light, sound, wireless telegraphy, and other electrical operations, featuring lectures on the principles involved. In the later years, from 1938 to 1942, the tendency was to demonstrate more of the University’s equipment and student work, thereby diminishing the commercial flavor. Most had a serious purpose, seeking to illustrate some of the latest advances in electrical engineering (though a few were purely for the purposes of showmanship). In the fall of 1914, a few years after the first E. E. show, members of the Student Branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers acted as hosts at the first annual Mechanical Engineering Open House. Some two thousand people representing all departments of the University passed through the displays of student work and demonstrations of machines in operation, and heard talks on subjects concerning the popular machines of the day.
