November 17, 2009 - College of Engineering

The great folks at the MU College of Engineering gave us a great tour of 4 labs/teams:

The Rapid Prototyping lab (I need some of those machines)








The Concrete Canoe Team (who knew you could make concrete that floats?!)





The Formula 1 Team (they started with a wrecked motorcycle--I think Mason was heartbroken)

The Hydrogen Car Team (those panels are super-light but strong enough to stand on--but not by us)
