Engineering Expo

Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, elementary school students at Engineering EXPO 2001

Fourth-grade students at Sun Prairie's West Side Elementary School probably didn't expect to learn about engineering from assembling ball-point pens. But divided into groups of individual workers and an assembly line at Engineering EXPO 2001, they experienced one of the most basic principles of industrial engineering: Assembly lines save time. The biennial event, April 19 through 21 on the engineering campus, drew approximately 7,000 people who came to explore some 60 engineering student exhibits.
