These all sound amazingly fun. I'm sure there are more out there, I don't think 30 really does some of the smart kids in college justice. Then again, how many rocket propulsion labs could be on college campuses?

You can see past the 23rd slide if you use Mozilla Firefox or some non-Microsoft browser.

I was very surprised that the University of Illinois's Integrated Circuit Fabrication class was not featured. It must rank as one of the most expensive class in the country, and it is indeed one of the most useful, as you learn about the very process of producing computing chips in cleanroom gowns.

It's now end of Aug 2010, and you still can't get past slide 23 with a Windows browser. Guess it's not getting fixed.

Not only couldn't see past slide 21 w/ IExplorer (I've been cheated my two "extra" slides!), but only saw 5 comments when it said there were 7. What's up?

As a proud alum of Missouri S&T (Univ. of MO-Rolla; MO School of Mines - we answer to them all), I thought I would check this link when I ran across it. Figured maybe one of the new labs built over the last few years might have approached the "awesome" category. Was floored when the first slide was the Explosives Lab...I hadn't even thought of that one. I can say, though, the guys/gals in the School of Mines put on one heck of a halftime fireworks display. Way to go Miners!
