Loads of bushy mustaches, hair and sideburns in the chemical engineering lab – but no goggles? Maybe those broad-rimmed specs did the job.
Dean Dave Ragone probes students’ minds. In the early 1970s it was thought that sitting on, rather than behind, desks made for more informal discussions – and turned conversationalists into better listeners.
In that competition, students constructed containers, placed eggs in them and dropped the whole kit and caboodle from West Engineering’s fourth floor. Unexpectedly large crowds gathered to witness the splatter.
