Press Release Sample - By Brenda Kohlmyer UW College of Engineering Open House April 28 and 29, 2006 • What’s the perfect proportion of baking soda and vinegar to propel a soda bottle motorboat? • How does electrochemical oxidation destroy water pollutants without adding other chemicals? • What is the shortest route to deliver emergency supplies during a humanitarian crisis? • What does a Viking Mars Lander VC3 really look like? • How does Mr. Incredible do all that cool stuff? Students and professors at the University of Washington share the answers to these questions and more during the 2006 UW College of Engineering Open House. Packed with over 100 hands-on exhibits representing only a fraction of the exciting studies going on every day in each of the 10 College of Engineering departments, the Open House is a perfect opportunity to explore engineering as a career. Come learn about nanotechnology, controlled fusion, fuel cells, computer software usability testing, and self-assembling robots. Play Transportation Jeopardy and make Silly Putty and glass beads. See the Kirsten Wind Tunnel in action and race paper airplanes at Guggenheim Hall. The College of Engineering Open House is a free event open to students of all ages. K-8, high school, and community college students as well as teachers and members of the community who are interested in learning more about engineering are welcome. Exhibits are located on the central UW campus, taking visitors to Drumheller Fountain with its commanding view of Mt. Rainier as well as the newest buildings in the engineering complex, Mary Gates Hall and the Paul G. Allen Center. The diverse locations give high school and community college students who are considering attending the UW a chance to experience the beautiful and vibrant urban campus first hand.
