Dr. Landry's Lab Tour - Photos are posted

On Feb 3, a tour was given to all IE students interested. We were able to test tactile devices, shoot chickens, and fly/crash planes. Thanks to David Rozovski for taking the time to show us the lab and to Dr. Landry for allowing us to visit. All who attended had a great time and learned a lot!
