Hands-On Learning
The department has a number of laboratories that are used for undergraduate and graduate education. Laboratory and hands-on work in the mechanical engineering program are focused on dynamics, stress measurement, and thermal-fluid sciences. In addition, the department has a number of other laboratories that are for research and education. The mechanical engineering program requires six laboratory courses: two in physics, one in chemistry, and three in mechanical engineering. Mechatronics and robotics engineering program has many hands-on practices that are embedded in the coursework. Our mechatronics laboratory accommodates students’ design and research projects. It is also used for the hands-on part of Introduction to Mechatronics course.
