General meeting with Whirlpool
Date: March 4, 2008
Time: 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM
Location: 135 MEB
Whirlpool is perhaps best known for its KitchenAid line of kitchen appliances; little known to students is its WERLD program, a leadership development program that is nearly unparalleled in the industry. Come to an informational meeting to learn more about opportunities at Whirlpool and the WERLD program; free smoothies will be served!
2. EOH Builds
Dates: February 26th, 27th and 28th (Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday) at 7:00 PM
Saturday,
March 1 at 1 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.
As EOH is fast approaching, we are constructing more this week on Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. For more information contact Carol Regalbuto
at mregalb2@uiuc.edu

Nominations for this position are open through Wednesday, March 4.
To nominate, or for more information on this position, contact Matt Savoie at msavoie2@uiuc.edu
