The mini-seminar "Things you should know that aren't taught at college" is a fast paced, lighthearted look at practical topics that are not typically addressed at Dartmouth. Three topics will be covered per session, 20 minutes each, and the demonstrations will be goofy and memorable. The topics are eclectic and the only connection between them is that they are practical, useful skills, with 'everything you need to know' provided at lightning fast pace. Despite the lighthearted attitude you will learn something, maybe alot. The first session will cover how an internal combustion engine works complete with a full engine tear down (and rebuild?), how to wire the electrical circuits of a house (all of them, with nary an electrocution), and how to do your taxes/buy house/invest your money - all in 1 hour!

Discussion led by Chris Polashenski, Engineering
