ESS Presentation at iExpo

Engineering in Service to Society
iExpo

A long long time ago

I can still remember

When engineering didn’t make me smile

But Professor Goldberg had the chance

To make his students want to dance

When he shared with us the joy he’s felt a while.

But the wind turbines made us shiver
Cross that out!

Compost was to hard to deliver
Cross that out!

Biofuel was a spoof
Cross that out!

We can’t afford a green roof
= $$!

I can’t remember if I cried

When I make my iCheckpoint slide

But something touched me deep inside
Self-Realization!

The day before iLaunch arrived.

So bye, bye to the capital i

You may have seen that we wear green, and there’s a good reason why.

We help the Earth and we are not shy.

Singing, napkins really have a back side.

Napkins really have a back side.
How we used it!

Did you write with BPR
BPR inside!

And could you build a steam engine car

If Professor Dragic told you so?

We ask questions to find a goal

I’m an engineer but I have a soul.

And the 22 Illini’s way too slow

Well, Suhail, we sure do love him
?

When he helps us with our brainstormin’.

Thomas and Brian do too

And Dr. Litchfield gives us clues!

We don’t mind that we missed Fat Don’s
Fat Don’s Every Wed + iFoundry Every Wed = Not Cool

Boy do we love Papa John’s

Our meetings sometimes were run-ons

But we can draw timelines

We started singing…
And you should too…

Bye, bye to the capital i

How we used it!

Now this year, we are on our own
“Mom, I’m a big boy now!”

And none of us are made of stone

But that’s not how it used to be
Cold War Stoicism

The cold war engineer wasn’t seen
Cold Engineers

With missing basics or with a team

But that changed when U of I got you and me
We are here!

Oh Allerton’s where it all went down

“iTeam” is my favorite noun

The meeting was adjourned

No pizza was returned

And Dave made us some fancy charts

To show our project’s different parts

Engineers are pretty smart

Like Professor Price

We were singing

How we used it!

Helter Skelter in a solar swelter

We’re trying to help a homeless shelter

This semester sure went by fast

Time to pick a HAPI theme

The Age of Stupid was extreme
ESS Field Trip!

And the Business Building is supreme
ESS Field Trip!

Now Canopy Club was an epic fail
First social event = no one showed up!

Just got another ESS e-mail

We have been given the chance

To help our world advance

The Waste Trans Station revealed
ESS Field Trip!

How much garbage the students yield

Maybe people’s problems could be healed
PROJECT!

With our team on their side

We started singing

How we used it!

Oh and there we were all in one place

Communicating in cyberspace

About when we would meet again

So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick

Our fearless leader is pretty sick

‘Cause Kevin has a lot of texts to send

And as we wrote ideas with chalk

Only one person at a time could talk

No angel born in hell

Could think up ideas so well

And as Kevin buckled his backpack strap

So we could all go back and take a nap

Our whole team began to clap

‘Cause we were filled with pride

We were singing

How we used it!

We all share some common views
Mission Statement!

Some of us read all the news
That’s us!

But all the physics had gone away
X

I went to the ESPL

Where weeks before I’d heard a yell

When a car burst out into flames

And in their groups committees shared

Scientists cried while engineers dreamed

Our minds are all open

We’ll fix it if its broken

And the women I admire most

To Karen and Tracey, I make a toast

Without them, iFoundry’d be a ghost

And we don’t want to hide

And we were singing

How we used it!

We were singing
And YOU should too!!!
