Over Spring Break, 10 students traveled to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to attend the annual Engineering Open House (http://eoh.ec.illinois.edu/) and had a great time! Of the hundreds of exhibits and demonstrations, some of the favorites were the robotics competitions, the sprinkler system demonstration which involved a live dorm room fire, and watching concrete crumble under the stress of 1.5 million pounds.
Special thanks to Karin McElwain-West driving and chaperoning the trip with me and to Rachel Farnam for the use of her car.
