A unique collection made its debut at the University of North Texas’ College of Engineering that’s expected to inspire STEM students for decades to come.

The Pettinger Engine Collection, located at UNT’s Discovery Park, is comprised of scale model or hobby engines that were once used to power model aircraft, cars and boats. The collection also features specialty items like a 1934 Maytag washing machine powered by a kick start gasoline engine, several vintage outboard boat engines and a classic 1965 Honda motorcycle.
