Let the building begin... 

Big ups to The Louisville Science Center's "World We Create" exhibit,
especially the big crane model and the 3-d ball-rolling part made of pvc
you could attach to a frame. Dunno if this is what you meant by "water",
but I also loved their "Go H2O", a waterless "stream table" that used
balls as a model for how water moves + is used in its cycle.

Definitely check out Liberty Science Center's skyscraper exhibit. While
capacity was a bit of an issue, particularly good parts were the beam
walk and the "curtain test lab" (the latter exposes you to 100 mph
winds!)

We are planning a new Engineering-themed exhibit space at our science
center.  Please give any of your suggestions, or even a list, of your
'favorite' interactive exhibits of all time with an engineering
focus...for any of the following topics -- water, energy, aviation,
architecture and waste.

We are looking to have 5-6 exhibits in this area.  I appreciate any and
all shared input.
