Events
Here are some of the upcoming mechanical engineering events:
3/7/20 – The Engineering Expo Arduino Class – Barrows Hall Room 221, 10:00-12:00
This class will focus on arduino basics in the context of building a table top two axis solar tracking unit
Here are the presentation slides.
4/3/20 – The Spring MEE Design Challenge – Crosby Hall Room 105
This semester we are stepping up our game to see which team of two to four participants can build the fastest and most powerful 3D printed high pressure power turbines.
6/21/20-6/26/20 – Mechatronics summer camp
CANCELLED DUE TO CORONA VIRUS.
Have you ever wondered how YOU can make a machine that responds to its environment? This week long course will cover the basics of how to build a machine which looks at sensors that respond to stimuli such as light or pressure, uses a microprocessor to make decisions about those inputs, and then takes action to create a desired outcome such as motion. This course will be fundamentally different from others because we will use the basic building blocks of everyday products as opposed to more “packaged” systems like the Lego Mindstorm. Students can expect a mixture of lectures with demonstrations followed by exploration time. On the final day the students will be challenged to build a car capable navigating a maze without any user input.
