For a summer camp for middle schoolers sponsored by Toyota that will be held jointly at #UKY and the Georgetown, KY plant, I have designed a pinewood derby car that can be 3D-printed. We will teach the kids how to create their own parametric design using Onshape. They will then print and race their designs. Because the cars are considerably lighter than wooden ones, we will add slots for weights and the kids can test what weight placements work best.

My colleague Skip, who is an adjunct in our department at #UKY, runs a winery, and his wife runs the Pike Street Winehouse in #Cynthiana, #Kentucky. We finally managed to pay them a visit. Wonderful atmosphere, good wine, and great food.

Definitely worth a visit when you’re in the area.

Eine Wiederholung zum #Tassenfreitag aus gegebenem Anlass. Unsere Tochter hat letzte Woche hier am #UKY College of Engineering ihren Abschluss in Elektrotechnik gemacht. Für etwas Bourbon in den Kaffee ist es aber hier noch etwas zu früh. Cheers!
#UKY commencement was a hoot and a half. It was great to see my students and our daughter graduate. The commencement speech by one of my wife’s students was absolutely hilarious. Mostafa told a very funny and heartwarming tale on how he ended up from Egypt in Kentucky, including a “Walk like an Egyptian” reference.
@intothewestaway Yeah, those are the #UKY colors.

Looks like we'll have another engineer in the family. Tonight our daughter will be inducted into the Order of the Engineer, and tomorrow will be her official graduation ceremony at the University of Kentucky.

And so it begins. Loading the bus to go to #IEEE #SoutheastCon in Huntsville, Alabama with the #UKY student branch. For a change, I’ll be representing the Lexington Section this year, so I won’t be able to hang out with the students all that much.
