Finley Moss and Jakob Johnsrud, right, UW-Madison freshmen in the engineering, mechanics and aerospace program, demonstrate their wind tunnel project during the Engineering Expo. The two enrolled in a new aerospace engineering class that's intended in part to get more female and minority students into the major.
Sam Snyder, left, and Bella Belgiorno, UW-Madison freshmen in the engineering, mechanics and aerospace program, demonstrate their wind tunnel project. Snyder got the last seat in the class last fall and is glad he did. It's allowed him to take more complex classes, like the one in statics and the fundamentals of movement he's taking this semester and to have a quicker grasp on complicated concepts.
Wanda the Wind Tunnel, the nickname for the project that UW-Madison aerospace engineering freshmen created last semester, illuminates the room as students demonstrate aerodynamics with a small model of an airplane wing. The wind tunnel was the overarching project built in the class, as professor Jennifer Franck sought to give aerospace engineering students an intro class of their own. Previously, students had been assigned to other introduction classes that might not have been as applicable to their field of study.
