E4879: Modern Airplanes in Splash Spring 2016 (Apr. 09 - 10, 2016)
Have you ever wondered what goes into making a Boeing 777? How do we get them into the sky, and how do we do it safely? In this class you will learn what makes an airplane fly, why they operate the way they do, and how we can transport millions of people around the world every year. The class might not make you a pilot, but it will make your paper airplane skills will take off!


E4621: Modern Magnets in Splash Fall 2015 (Nov. 07 - 08, 2015)
Have you ever wondered how maglev trains, hard disk drives, electric motors, or speakers work? All of these devices have one thing in common: magnets! In this class, we'll start with a short theoretical description of magnetism, then move on to exploring its applications in modern science and engineering, both at the large and small scales. We'll finish by building interesting experiments that demonstrate the principles of magnetism in a classroom setting.
