From MIT's earliest days, mechanical engineers have tackled challenges of the times – advancing the fundamentals of the discipline, inventing breakthrough technologies, and bringing innovations to scale. In this issue, we explore MechE's history, our Foundations, and celebrate people, spaces, and ideas that have shaped our department and field through the years.
