The University of Illinois Girls of Engineering 2007 Swimsuit Calendar!!!11

Smart is sexy. Students at the University spent nine months putting together a swimsuit calendar that showcases that theme - and they did not need to look any further than the north side of campus for models.

The Girls of Engineering 2007 calendar has one stipulation: All the models are students in Engineering at the University. In addition to the pictures, each month has a sidebar containing information about the model's major, interests, favorite things and other facts.

The calendar was conceptualized a few years ago by Jen Wood, a University alumna. She and three partners turned the idea into a reality.

"She wanted to put something together that broke the mold and the stereotypes," said Syed Karim, senior at Lake Forest College and executive producer of the calendar.

The idea behind the pictures was not enough for Lexie Parmar, junior in Engineering.

"I've seen a few of the pictures, and I thought they were a little racy," she said. "I know their intention was to show smart as sexy, but part of being sexy is being classy."

Chiral Productions was founded to produce the calendar, which is independent of the University.

"It's important for people to know that the University, the College of Engineering, played no role in encouraging or discouraging students from this commercial venture," said Sue Larson, director of Women in Engineering.

The calendar was shot in a variety of settings, some suggestive of engineering and some not.
