This weekend marked the 100-year anniversary of the Engineering Expo at the University of Kansas. The Expo was a two-day event on Friday and Saturday. Attendees included surrounding elementary, junior high schools, high schools and the KU community. The expectancy of the Expo was originally 1,000 people, but by Thursday night had increased to more than 3,000 students.
The architecture, chemistry, civil and physics departments worked hard to set up the Expo Thursday night. This year was also the first time in 25 years that the chemistry and physics departments were involved in the Expo.
The night started by everyone clearing out the classrooms around 6 p.m. to set up for the different events. One of the main attractions this year was the display of different decades. Rooms set up for each decade through the past 100 years scattered throughout three floors in Learned and Eaton halls.
"Pretty much every department is pulling out everything they have that could ever impress a little kid," said Samantha Pedraza, mechanical engineering team leader for EcoHawks.
E-Week competitions were also held to prepare all the engineering students for the Expo. Some of the different events included a doughnut-eating contest, pi for a pie, which students had to recall the 10 digits of pi to receive a pie, a marshmallow eating contest and a scavenger hunt. Lauren Lacey, vice president of Engineering Student Council, said that the purpose of E-Week was to get everyone excited about the Expo.

The engineering students also had a separate competition where students could bring in their own projects to be judged.
"In the real world they really can make a difference and can have fun doing it." Lacey said.
1) Qi Chen, a freshman from Overland Park, and Oliver Pepin, a fourth grader from Lawrence, drop their projects from the second floor balcony. Neither of the glass beakers broke after being dropped.

2) Cory Nickelson, a sophomore from Olathe, and Anthony Ison, a freshman from Pittsburg, shoot rings at a target to demonstrate how aerospace engineering works. The iron gun was one of many activities in the aerospace engineering room.

3) Anas Al Anqar, a junior from Gaza Strip, Palestine, shows how to extract oil from sand. Al Anqar was part of the petroleum engineering room during the Engineer Internship.
4) Pepin and his dad, John, build a cardboard structure to protect a glass beaker during the glass drop activity. Pepin's beaker did not break after being thrown from the second floor balcony. Megan Singer/KANSAN
