In this edition of Radio Fireball, you'll meet three McMaster Engineering students, Marka Jansen, Tyler Woychyshyn and Paul Okrutny, who have taken the skills they've learned at Mac and have shared them with developing countries through Engineers Without Borders. Next, a nature walk in the sylvan splendor that surrounds McMaster. Want to know if there's a job after graduation? Our intro to co-op answers that question, and more. And, finally, we get the skinny on tissue engineering from the wise and energetic Mac engineer, Kim Jones.

In this edition of Radio Fireball,  Dr. Martin von Mohrenschildt explains why McMaster's new mechatronics program delivers the best engineering has to offer. Mechatronics is a combination of mechanical, electrical, computing and embedded systems engineering.

Then, we'll go behind the scenes for a soundseeing tour of a unique musical produced and performed entirely by engineering students. It's a eight-year tradition at Mac to take contemporary musicals and warp them to the unusual purposes of fun-loving engineering students. This year, Hooke's on deck.

Next, Engineering and Management student Lauren D'Amico pours her heart about her late-blooming love for Hamilton and the Mac environment. It's all here, in this edition of Radio Fireball.
