The goal of this project is to design and build dynamic displays that illustrate the excitement, breadth, and multidisciplinarity of modern mechanical engineering in general, and of mechanical engineering at Penn State specifically. They should demonstrate fundamental mechanical engineering principles using hands-on interactive hardware. The new displays will be installed in three locations in the main hallway of the ME Department on the first floor of Reber Building; these areas currently feature faux vegetation. The displays must be attractive, professional looking, and robust, since they will be located in an area with high foot traffic. Many students, faculty, staff, and alumni, along with prospective students and their families, will view and touch them on a daily basis. The displays should inspire the Department’s visitors to appreciate the many exciting facets, collaborative spirit, and cutting-edge opportunities of Mechanical Engineering.
