2. EOH Committee Meeting
Date: Wednesday, February 7th
Time: 7 PM
Location: 135 MEB
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.
We will be having weekly EOH meetings for anyone interested in getting involved
every Wednesday at 7 PM starting.
3. ME for Me Conference
Date: Saturday February 9th, 2008
Time: 10 AM – 4 PM
Location: 2005, 2009 MEL
Come out to an all day event focusing on the various career paths available for
mechanical engineers. Representatives from Caterpillar, GE, Rolls Royce,
Ingersoll Machine Tools Inc., and Shell will present and be available for
questions. The event includes lunch catered by Panera
and a raffle at the end of the day. The timing is perfect for those looking for
jobs and internships, as it falls on the weekend between two career fairs. It
is also a good way for students new to engineering to learn about career
opportunities. Sign-up online at http://asme.ec.uiuc.edu/MEforMe/signup.php
