27 EOH 2010 Flight Simulator AIAA Get a chance to see what it feels like to fly an airplane! This flight simulator lets you Anchors Aweigh take control of a yoke, pedals, and throttle Illinois Society of General Engineers to experience the thrills of flight. Come test your engineering skills by buildLocation: 105 ing a boat made of tin foil and straws. Also, see a demonstration of a tea light steam Fluids Lab Demonstration boat and bring home directions to build Society for Experimental Mechanics your own! The Society for Experimental Mechanics Location: 1st Floor Hallway will be showcasing the fluids lab in Talbot Laboratory. The fluids lab includes demonstrations of a hydraulic jump, non-Newto- Egg Drop nian fluids, pressure forces on various bod- Gamma Epsilon ies, a flow table and much more. Check out Put your engineering skills to the test with the Gamma Epsilon Egg Drop! Design and this great interactive exhibit! build your egg capsule out of items includLocation: 126 ing string, tape, cups, balloons, cotton balls, and more. Then, we’ll toss your capsule out Night Sky the window and enjoy the show. Watch out Women in Aerospace An interactive exhibit of the night sky- its for eggsplosions! planets and moons, stars and constella- Location: 206 tions, and neighboring galaxies. Location: 105 Transportation Building Nobles of Urbana Engineering Outreach Society This exhibit presented by EOS will incorporate two different aspects of engineering. The first is focused on the building and design of a small building using only recyclable materials. The other aspect is that of firing projectiles in a manner of taking down the city. The competitors are all students from Leal Elementary School and will compete in a bracket to be crowned King or Queen of Urbana. Location: Moved to Everitt Laboratory Why Engineering at Illinois? Students choose Engineering at Illinois for a variety of reasons. Many of our students say they enjoy the opportunities and resources a Big Ten university provides, and they also appreciate the comfort and benefits of being part of the smaller engineering community within campus. iFoundry and iEFX http://ifoundry.illinois.edu iFoundry and Illinois Freshman Engineering Experience is designed to promote and communicate innovations in engineering education to the public audience attending EOH. Highlights of our new Intro to the Missing Basics course (ENG 100++), our emphasis on design and hands-on projects, and our cultivation of the joys of engineering, lifelong learning, and community will be shared. Location: Moved to Engineering Hall 106B8 A Rewarding Challenge Engineering students study and work hard but they have fun as well. One piece of advice students almost always identify as a key to success--good time management skills. Start developing these skills now and you will be ready for a transformational experience at Illinois. Eventually, “success” will mean “getting a job”. Illinois’ engineering graduates are competitive in the job market. Typically more than 400 companies recruit on campus each year. Engineering Career Services statistics indicate engineering students who participate in these interviews receive more than two job offers each. Although Engineering at Illinois is a challenging program of study, it is also rewarding. The thousands of successful—and even famous—graduates who have gone before you are proof. Smoke Ring Launcher Society for Experimental Mechanics The Society for Experimental Mechanics will be demonstrating their smoke ring launcher in the crane bay of Talbot Lab. The smoke ring launcher sends a ring of smoke over 5 feet in diameter floating across the room! Location: Crane Bay TAM Toys and Nonlinear Dynamics Society for Experimental Mechanics The Society for Experimental Mechanics will be demonstrating their collection of “TAM Toys.” These unique “toys” demonstrate both fundamentals of mechanics and some more interesting mechanical phenomena. One of the more interesting pieces includes a demonstration on nonlinear spring dynamics. Location: 104 ISGE Illinois Society of General Engineers ISGE is a great way to connect with other General Engineers here at UIUC and get professional mentoring from GEs out in the field. ISGE hosts several guest speakers throughout the year, mock interviews, barcrawls, and much more. Location: 204 Wind Tunnel AIAA Have you ever wondered why a golf ball is covered with dimples? See a real wind tunnel in action as the aerodynamic properties of a golf ball are tested and compared with a smooth ball. Location: 18a Manufacturing Improvements with IIE Institute of Industrial Engineers Institute of Industrial Engineers will be hosting a hands-on demonstration showing how simple improvements in a manufacturing environment can make all the difference.
