Menu:
Breakfast: Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins, Sausage Patty, Orange Juice, Milk
Lunch: Salisbury Steak, Mashed Potatoes n Gravy, Sliced Carrots, Pears, Bread, Milk
7th thru 12th- grade students and their parents are invited to join Sharene Craft in the library from 4 pm to 5 pm for UAA's Journey into Engineering. Snacks will be available and a prize drawing will be held.
Geomatics in the 21st Century, Tuesday, February 23, 2021, 4:00-5:00 PM
Join us for a glimpse at what Geomatics looks like in the 21st century! Explore an augmented reality sandbox that teaches mapping, topography, watersheds, natural hazards, and more. Explore how drone-mounted sensors are used to detect melting permafrost and monitor environmental dynamics in Alaska’s rapidly changing climate and coastline. Learn about what a geomatics career look like through several students/industry spotlights.
Digital Bits and Their Applications, Wednesday, February 24, 2021, 4:00-5:00 PM
Join Dr. Sebastian Neumayer to explore digital bits and their applications. You will hae a chance to play an interactive game competing against a 'dumb' and 'smart' version of a program to guess a number between 1 and 100, and then discuss algorithms. Dr. Neumayer will also use an FPGA circuit board to demonstrate binary numbers using LEDs. Afterward, learn more about Computer Science & Systems Engineering.
Music + Engineering, Thursday, February 25, 2021, 4:00-5:00 PM
Join Dr. Jens Munk (virtually) in the electromagnetics lab as he showcases his pride and joy--a set of electrostatic speakers built by engineering students at UAA. Discover what makes these speakers unique, and enjoy chilling and listening to some music. Dr. Munk will also provide insight into a number of projects from the electrical engineering department, including a step frequency radar system. This is a great opportunity to learn about electrical engineering and what programs and opportunities could await you at UAA.
Pump Power Curve, Friday, February 26, 2021, 4:00-5:00 PM
Join Dr. Getu Hailu to learn about pumps! DId you know pumps are the most widely used equipment, preceded by electric motors only? In everyday life, you are probably using at least one pump. There is a pump in the washing machine that drains the used dirty water and replaces it with fresh water. If you own a car, you know how important it is to maintain an optimum operating temperature of your car. A water pump is essential to your car’s operation. The pump ensures that the coolant keeps circulating through the engine block, hoses and radiator, and maintains an optimum operating temperature.
One of the important requirements of pumps is that they need to develop a certain amount of pressure to push the liquid through the pipes and hoses. We are also interested in knowing the power requirement for these pumps when they are working. A graphical interpretation of the relationship between the flow rate, pressure developed, and power requirement is given in “Pump Performance Curves”. In this demonstration you will be able to see how we determine the pressure pumps develop at specified flow rates and the power required to do so.
