MIT MechE has historically attracted very entrepreneurial, hands-on students. It was through my interaction with these friends that I came to appreciate the importance of applying theoretical principles to building useful products.
In class 2.00b, Toy Product Design, offered by MIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering, first-year students get hands-on engineering and product design experience while developing a prototype for a new toy.
Across MechE, faculty and staff are engaging in cutting-edge research at the frontiers of a new vision for mechanical engineering.
For students in the hands-on, lab-based class, 2.737 (Mechatronics), the process of bringing ideas to life can feel a lot like magic. Professor David Trumper has been teaching this course since ince he joined as faculty
