The Department of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics has state-of-the-art facilities used for both research and teaching. Equipment in the various labs is continuously updated to expose our students to the newest equipment and illustrate the most important concepts in mechanical engineering.

All students are encouraged to gain hands on experience in the shop and labs. For example, all of our Mechanical Engineering undergraduates learn how to perform basic machining operations, both manually and using CNC numerical control. Undergraduates then apply these skills to fabricate prototype devices in other courses or as innovative projects connected with independent study courses.

Visitors are encouraged to visit our laboratory facilities. Arrangements can be made to tour a specific laboratory facility by e-mailing the faculty contact designated in the appropriate laboratory web page or simply stopping by the Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics Department Offices in Packard Laboratory.
