Engineering Marketing

[quasigeostrophy]

It seems the College of Engineering at Purdue has undertaken a new marketing campaign: Engineering Impact.

I was walking from Math to the parking garage after class this afternoon, when in front of the steps at the entrance to the Mechanical Engineering building I saw a new glass sign with the new Engineering Impact design at the top. The text below:

Before Neil Armstrong took the most important step in history, he stepped in here for Thermo.

I have a feeling these signs are going to start popping up all over campus. As long as they don't show up in the bathroom.

Oh well, still not quite like the Feynman shrine section in the CalTech bookstore, IMHO. :-)

Robert Goddard went to my alma matter - Worcester Polytechnic Institute. He was kicked out for blowing up things in his early rocketry experiments and went to nearby Clark University.

That could lead to some interesting signs :)

:-) I just don't want to see an "Amelia Earhart _____ed here," you know?
