Robot
Challenge – Compete with your friends
to see who is the first person able to manipulate blocks using a robot. A
short explanation of the basic components of a robot and how to operate it
using a teaching pendent is provided.
ET 227
Web Page
Design – Have you ever created a web
page of your own? A brief explanation of how to design a web page is
provided along with an opportunity to create one on the computer.
ET 216
How’s That
Made? – Come and watch the machining
of parts on an industrial Computer Numerically Controlled mill and lathe.
An explanation of g-code programming and design for manufacture is
provided. ET 120
Electronic
Communication Demonstration – Come
and learn about the design of horn antennas used in microwave technology and
the design and implementation of a modified time domain reflectometer.
ET 204
Industrial
Robot Demonstration – Come and
observe a real industrial robot in action.

Pavements that Leak -
Watch concrete taking a shower to show how a new
invention - porous concrete - lets rain soak into the ground instead
of running off the surface of parking lots, causing flooding and
polluting our rivers and lakes.
Location: ES 104 (3 min)
|
Earthquake Engineering -
Presentation that includes a brief history of
earthquake damage and then present methods used in earthquake
engineering to prevent such damage. For example: we show how to take the
recordings of a seismograph and turn that into ground motion so as to
determine the way in which a structure will react. ALSO: shake table and
a liquifaction demonstration.
Location: ES 111 (3-5 min) |
Our drinking water: Its Origin -
Our drinking water originates 500 ft beneath
the ground from a vast ocean of sand! See how we extract the water using
wells that act like straws, pulling the water to the surface.
Location: Fluids Lab ES 113; (5 min.) |
Geotechnical Engineering Research: "It's a dirty job, but
somebody's gotta do it." Students will see a
demonstration of how geofoam technology can be applied to a variety of
situations, including the prevention of landslides and subsurface
drainage. Also, the use of recycled foam from waste products such as
coffee cups and foam packaging materials to help reduce landfill waste
will be discussed.
Location: ES 109 (10

Breaking Boards - “What or when
is the moment of inertia?”
– Basic characteristics of structural mechanics are
demonstrated by loading wooden specimens at different locations along a
test beam.
Location: ES 109 (5 min) |
"What can we learn from a Big Bang?”
– The science of material testing and the study of
the strength of engineering materials and their mechanical behavior
under load.
