Integrating knowledge, deriving genius. 20 Trebuchets Society for Experimental Mechanics The Society for Experimental Mechanics has constructed several trebuchets (catapults) of different designs. They will be demonstrating the pros and cons of each design. Check out this exhibition of medieval machinery! U.S. News ranked the Agricultural, Civil, and Materials Science Engineering departments #1 in America for 2009. The University of Illinois’ College of Engineering is ranked the #4 Undergraduate Engineering Program in the U.S. Some famous alumni from the University of Illinois’ College of Engineering include YouTube co-founders Javed Karim and Steve Chen, Microsoft’s Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie, co-founder and CTO for Paypal Max Levchin, and co-founder and long time CEO of Advanced Micro Devices Jerry Sanders. 16 alumni and faculty have won the Nobel Prize, in addition to John Bardeen (professor of Physics and Electrical Engineering), who won the Nobel Prize in Physics twice. Wind Energy used for Mechanical Work American Society Of Mechanical Engineers Come out and learn about sustainable energy options and their applications. See our vertical axis wind turbine that will be used to do mechanical work, showing wind energy can be used for more than just generating electricity. Newmark Laboratory American Concrete Institute (ACI) ASCE American Concrete Institute ASCE ACIUIUC will have a hands-on demonstration of concrete mixing. Visitors can make their own concrete coasters. Strength tests of concrete will also be demonstrated during our yearly high strength concrete cylinder competition. Location: Crane Bay College of Engineering Transfer Student Information Center Friday, March 12 Hours: 10:00 am to 4:00 pm 212 Engineering Hall (2nd Floor) Engineering Advisors and Staff will be available to visit with students interested in transferring to the College of Engineering after attending another college or university. Continuing students who are presently attending the College of Engineering at the U of I and have transferred from another college or university will be available to visit with interested students and families. Information will be available about the transfer programs that we have with more than 50 community colleges and 25 four year schools that don’t offer an engineering degree. Refreshments will be available from 12PM to 3PM AREMA ASCE Railroad Engineering Extravaganza Young Locomotive Engineers and Veteran Railroaders alike: come visit the Railroad Extravaganza, hosted by the UIUC Railroad Engineering Program. Participants will enjoy a variety of educational experiences including train dispatching demonstrations, a freight car display and model train layout hosted by the Illini Railroad Club, and research exhibits highlighting the ongoing world-class railroad engineering projects at Illinois. Students can also try their hand at the interactive Intermodal Transportation Game created by the AREMA Student Chapter. Location: Crane Bay
