In 1989, the National Academy of Engineering announced its list of the top ten engineering achievements of the past twenty-five years. The top ten achievements listed are: the moon landing application satellites the microprocessor computer-aided design and manufacturing the CAT scan advanced composite materials the ju mbo jet lasers fiberoptic communication genetically engineered products

Open House

The College of Engineering and Computer Science sponsored our annual Open House during National Engineers Week. Every year at this time each of the deparlments in the college open the doors to classrooms and labs and invite the public to" come on in." Tours started in the lobby of the EMS Building and hundreds of people took advantage of the opportunity to see what's happening atWright State University. Alongwith refreshments and guided tours, representatives from Admissions, Financial Aid, and Career Services were on hand to provide information. Also available for inspection was a model of the Fritz and Dolores Russ Engineering Center, which is currently under construction. The college would like to thank the following students who acted as tour guides for our visitors: College ofEngineerillg and Computer Science two guides Darel Benysh and Bill Carmen Baker Bill Lockwood Lockwood led the way for visitors during the Annual Open House.

One of the most popular events associated with the TEAMS Compe­ tition is the model Bridge Building Contest. This year forty-three bridges were constructed by high school students, according to specification, and tested by the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering to determine how much stress they could withstand.
