George Nnanna, founding director of the University of Missouri–St. Louis School of Engineering, and Professor Xin Wang discussed the new school’s programs and initiatives during the recent “SciFest: Engineering Expo” at the Saint Louis Science Center.
During a presentation on the Science Center’s Energy Stage, Nnanna and Wang, program coordinator for electrical engineering, demonstrated engineering concepts including thermodynamics and robotics, the latter involving a four-legged robot that Wang controlled with a hand-held device.
“This is a great opportunity to introduce the School of Engineering to the public, to the St. Louis community, and it’s a great opportunity to showcase the capability of the school within these communities,” Nnanna said.
