Unlocking Potential 15 School, Middle School Pinball Machine ADSL Our made-from-scratch pinball machine is the result of over a year’s worth research and design. Unlike any other pinball machine on the market, this college-themed simultaneous multiplayer machine utilizes flipper buttons mounted intuitively above each flipper! With each player focused on one themed side of the playfield (academic and extracurricular activities) a balance needs to be kept so you don’t “burn out” from too much studying or “flunk out” from too much recreation! Location: 261 This exhibit is suitable for: All Audio effects are controlled by reading the capacitance around an antenna. Location: 261 This exhibit is suitable for: All Location: 269 This exhibit is suitable for: Grade School, Middle School Power and Energy Systems Laboratory Power And Energy Systems Power and Energy are core disciplines in Electrical Engineering. A series of projects are set up to demonstrate this exciting area including the Magnetic ring cannon, floating frying pan, automated Etch-A-Sketch, and many more. Location: 50 This exhibit is suitable for: All Proximity Controlled Midi Controller ECE395 The Proximity Controlled MIDI Controller is based on the same principles as a Theremin. It uses a single antenna to control the modulation of different parameters on an audio signal via MIDI.
