Beginnings |
What is DME? DME is Discover Mechanical Engineering, one of the Freshman Pre-Orientation Programs available to incoming freshmen at MIT before regular Orientation starts. Students generally arrive and check in on the Monday before Orientation since DME events begin on Tuesday morning. Monday will have a welcome lounge and dinner, as well as other activities for those who arrive early. See our schedule of events Then, over 5 days, the freshmen will get a thorough introduction to mechanical engineering, including instruction in machining and electronics - skills used by each student to build their own SoccerBot, meet students and faculty in the mechanical engineering department, go on field trips, and at the end of the week, match their SoccerBots against each other in a tournament at the Boston Museum of Science. See the schedule for a complete list of activities, and check out media from last fall's DME. In addition to experiencing the program, freshmen will have a few extra days on campus to get to know MIT, Cambridge, upperclassmen, and each other.
