LABS

Armed with the knowledge and skill gained in the workshops, students go to lab where they spend the majority of their time taking apart machines.

For the first offering of the class, there were four stations dedicated to machines commonly used by engineers:

    -Gears and Bearings

    -4 Stroke Internal Combustion Engines

    -Electro-mechanical Devices

    -Positive Displacement Hydraulic Pumps

Groups of 4 students are guided by a lab write-up which points out important characteristics of the machines. Students sketch parts of the machine and identify their function.
