General meeting with Motorola
Date: Tuesday, February 19, 2008
Time: 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM
Location: 135 MEB
Motorola pioneered the realm of smaller cellphones with its Razr (R) -- perhaps one of the best-known cellphones on the market today. Come to this informational seminar as Motorola discusses internship opportunities, international experiences, and more! As always, dinner's on us.
2. EOH Build
Date: Wednesday, February 20th
Time: 5:30 PM
Location: ESPL
We are hosting three different
exhibits this year for EOH. The first is a resurrection of last year's penny smasher that will punch a Block I into aluminum disks using
a machined die and vice. The second is an interactive exhibit of a hydraulic
dump truck that will simulate how a truck bed is lifted, and the third is an
exhibit about distracted driving that will feature computer simulations
requiring participants' attention for both simulated driving and an alternate
task.
The next build will be this Wednesday. Dinner will be provided! For more
information contact Carol Regalbuto at mregalb2@uiuc.edu
