The University of Tulsa's department of electrical and computer engineering has a new exhibit at the Tulsa Air and Space Museum, and it's a doozy.
It features an F-16 fighter simulator, as well as a "space lander missions on lunar and Martian surfaces" game, the Tulsa World reports.
It's all the work of students from CymSTAR, a training systems integrator for the US military.
"It's designed to entertain and provide a deep understanding of aerodynamics, avionics, and flight control systems, showcasing the practical applications of classroom learning in a real-world scenario," Kaveh Ashenayi, the department's Hans A.Norberg Endowed Chair in Electrical Engineering, says in a press release.
Ashenayi calls the students' work "a testament to the rigorous educational framework we've developed here at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering," and the museum's curator agrees: "By involving students in the creation of these exhibits, we are preparing them for future roles in STEM fields and helping to ignite a passion for science and technology in our community."
