4. Slide Rule

Slide rule used by my grandfather, Carl Lewin ’39, a civil engineering major and Skull member who later served as a WPI trustee.

5. Goat Photo

This goat took a liking to me even before I joined WPI. It was at a place called Bosjökloster, during a study abroad in Lund, Sweden.

6. Braitenberg Vehicle

I use this proto-robot, which can follow lines and react to stimuli without a microcontroller, to demonstrate basic control in some of my classes. I often leave it driving around a course in the lab for hours.
