Engineering Day at Drexel U.



Take a look at your classmates participating in Engineering Day activities. Students built model cars with K-Nex trying to see which would survive a downhill crash into a cinder block using the least amount of force. Chemical engineering of new substances including insulating foam made of polyether and slime that had the ability to bounce was a lot of fun! Making instant (and very yummy) ice cream using liquid nitrogen provided a sweet ending for our luncheon. The day ended with a shuttle bus and walking tour of Drexel's campus.
