Are there really enough engineering-related visual presentations in today's classrooms? Of course not! This is why the Society of Manufacturing Engineers encourages its chapters to "hit the ground running" when it comes to showing our students how much fun engineering can be.

  We started out with a really cool digital fiberoptic sensor and are slowly building upon it. Here's what we have thus far......

Let's see if you can spot the following:

Digital multimeter
Water pump
Fiberoptic amplifier
Solenoid valves
Digital pressure sensor
Latching relay
