Introduces the fundamentals of machine tools and electronics. Students work with a variety of machine tools including the bandsaw, milling machine, and lathe. Mechanical Engineering students are advised to take this subject in the first IAP after declaring their major.
Remember why you came to MIT: to learn & build. Learn to use the milling machine, lathe and other tools. Gain experience building an electronic tachometer to keep.
Review the basic principles that make DC motors work. Build a motor with some of your own design choices in the Pappalardo Design Laboratory. A design spin-off will crown the fastest motor.
You can take 2.670 either Jan 17-20 OR Jan 23-26. Hours: 8:30am to 5pm on all 4 days, 1 hour break for lunch plus 1 evening session from 6 to 9:30pm on either the 2nd or 3rd day.
Registration limited to Course 2, 2-A, and 2-OE majors. Students who have passed 2.00b are exempt and excluded from 2.670. Eligible students have had a registration link emailed to them. If you have any questions about 2.670, or believe that you are eligible but have not received an emailed link, please email 2.670@mit.edu.

6.S186/2.S972 is an advanced autonomous robotics contest emphasizing technical AI, vision, mapping, and navigation from a mounted camera, with few restrictions on materials, sensor, or actuators, enabling students to build robots very creatively. Teams should have 3-4 members, and be prepared to devote the bulk of IAP to creating their robot. The majority of the team should have basic programming experience. The final competition in 26-100 on February 3rd will start with an Open House at 4 PM and contests at 5 PM.
Please enter the lottery by the deadline at the website below. Note that the $200/team fee will be returned upon the successful completion of the class or if waived by the Maslab Program Director.

Level: U 3 units Standard A - F Grading Can be repeated for credit
Lecture, seminar or laboratory course consisting of material not offered in regularly scheduled subjects. Can be repeated for credit only for completely different subject matter. 2.S972-2.S974 are graded P/D/F.
This class in drafting practice teaches a traditional method of creating lines plans. We will use historic design data by N. G. Herrshoff (MIT class of 1870) from the Hart Nautical Collections – MIT Museum. NGH is considered the worlds greatest yacht designer. You will learn how to translate Herreshoff’s original hull offsets (XYZ hull shape) into a lines plan you keep. Herreshoff built boats directly from offsets, taken from half-hull models he carved (without producing lines plans), so you will be creating unique lines plans. Also included is a tour of the Hart Nautical design collection.
The instructor is a professional draftsman/designer and graduate of the International Yacht Restoration School in Newport, RI. Sponsors MIT Museum, co-sponsor Department of Architecture. Class held in N51-160.
