MechE Connects is the bi-annual newsletter for MIT's Department of Mechanical Engineering (MechE). Each issue explores one theme that reflects the cutting-edge research being conducted at MechE, in addition to providing an overview of the latest departmental news.
In this special issue of MechE Connects, we highlight just a few examples of how our faculty, students, staff, and alumni have used their minds, hands, and hearts to innovate, develop solutions, and support others in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Instructors in MIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering have introduced new innovative methods of teaching hands-on classes which may inform educational best practices for years to come.
