Hosted by the First Year Engineering Student Advisory Council (FYESAC)

3rd Annual Penny Wars competition between the individual schools of engineering. Hosted last year as part of the Mechanical Engineering Recess Revival. Proceeds go to the United Way.

Penny war rules are based on coins being worth positive points, bills being worth an equivalent amount of negative points – i.e. a dime is 10 points, a five dollar bill is -500 points. The winning discipline receives the rotating trophy currently housed in the Mechanical Engineering building.

Hosted by the Mechanical Engineering Ambassadors

Hands-on activities to encourage and inspire young minds into an engineering career.

Giant Tower Jenga! Great group and station activity! A game of skill and cunning. Build the tower, then take turns removing a piece and adding it to the top without making the whole tower tumble. The game builds from approx. 3'6" at the start of the game to 5' maximum in play. Sponsored by the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE)

Lecture given by Mr. Don Knorr, President of the Indiana Society of Professional Engineers. Sponsored by Purdue Society of Professional Engineers (PSPE)

Come test your knowledge on business and engineering. Prizes will be distributed to the top performers. Sponsored by the National Organization of Business Engineers (NOBE)

Open to all students, faculty, and staff. Pi Tau Sigma and ASME will provide the food, tent, grill, etc. The SAE Baja Club will have their car on the lawn and will be conducting a ‘pit crew challenge’ activity where students change a tire on the car as quickly as possible. There will be a trophy for the fastest student; the fastest time from each engineering school will receive a certificate.
