WORLD’S FAIRS AND TRANSPORTATION INNOVATION
Abstract: World Fairs have been forgotten by most who live in North America because the last one was held in 1986 in Vancouver, Canada. However, they are still being held in other countries on specific themes. The 20th Century World’s Fairs were major events celebrated in the host city and the world, and transportation exhibits and projects were always a popular feature of these expositions. The presentation will explore the history of World’s Fairs and the transportation innovations that have amazed Fair attendees through the years.
Bio: Dr. Bill Sproule is a Professor Emeritus at Michigan Technological University, where he taught and directed research projects in transportation engineering, traffic safety, public transit, airport planning and design, and hockey history for almost 25 years. He has been active in several professional associations including ASCE, ITE, TRB, the American Planning Association, and the Society for International Hockey Research. Bill retired five years ago but has continued his work in automated people movers and hockey history.

Hello All,
Multiplanetary INnovation Enterprise (MINE) has begun recruiting for the Fall 2023 semester. If you are interested in supporting our goal to develop technologies that can withstand the harsh environments on Earth or across Space then MINE is the right place for you!
Information Session
If you are interested and would like more information please come see us at our info session on Thursday, March 23rd, 6-7pm in MEEM 111 or Monday, March 27th, 6-7pm in MEEM 111. We will have pizza at both info sessions!
Our application will open after our first info session. So after attending a session, feel free to fill out the application here, or find it on our website: mine.geo.mtu.edu
Please complete the application by Friday, March 31st.
Who We Are
The Multiplanetary INnovation Enterprise (MINE) is a student-led group that is focused on giving students hands-on experience designing, building, and testing remotely operated vehicles to run in extreme environments, including an annual competition run by NASA. The enterprise offers students independence in their learning and strengthens their skills in communication, time management, problem solving, presentation and technical writing skills, project management, and leadership. While our hands-on projects focus on building skills and learning concepts, we emphasize small groups, collaboration, and teamwork.
We are currently working on 3 projects:
· Lunabotics Astro-Huskies are developing and building a lunar rover for NASA’s annual robotic mining competition. This year our focus was developing a robot to mine icy regolith on the moon however in the future our goal will be more construction oriented.
· DIVER (Deep Investigation Vehicle for Energy Resources) aims to impact the energy industry by providing it with an inspection vehicle for the exploration of flooded mines. The technical challenges of this project include making the vehicle capable of withstanding extreme water-pressure, navigating dynamic currents, and the collection of water-quality and spatial data.
· Lunar Trencher is building and testing a bucket ladder excavator attachment for a lunar field rover where the goal is to make it space rated. The team is currently working on getting the trencher into a vacuum chamber that simulates lunar conditions, to demonstrate that it could operate on the moon.

College of Business is hosting a graduate programs night on
Tuesday, March 22 @ 4 pm in 101 AOB
Come enjoy some pizza and learn about graduate school options; specifically Master’s of Accounting, Master’s in Engineering Management and our TechMBA®.
Contact information for each program is provided in the attached flier.
Interested in pursuing a master’s degree? Did you know it can be done in only one year? If you are a rising junior or senior (from any major on campus), this is the time to explore your options.
The Department of Social Sciences (SS) will be hosting an information session from 4-5 p.m. on Monday (March 20) in the Academic Office Building Commons (second floor of the AOB) for the following programs:
- Accelerated M.S. in Environmental and Energy Policy
- Accelerated M.S. in Industrial Heritage and Archaeology
- Accelerated M.S. in Sustainable Communities
Drop in and learn about the various curriculums, how to double count undergraduate courses toward a graduate degree, how to use the senior rule, and the all-important information on funding your graduate degree. Advisors will be available to answer any other questions you may have.
If you are interested but unable to attend the information session, I encourage you reach out the appropriate accelerated M.S. advisor:
- Accelerated M.S. in Environmental and Energy Policy:
Adam Wellstead at awellste@mtu.edu - Accelerated M.S. in Industrial Heritage and Archaeology:
