Mechanical Engineering Tools Steven B. Leeb, Barbara Hughey, Richard Fenner Mon-Fri, Jan 14-17, 22-25, 08:30am-05:00pm, First day: 3-270 Pre-register on WebSIS and attend first class. Limited to 140 participants. No listeners Prereq: Level: U 3 units Graded P/D/F 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 14-17 OR Jan 22-25. 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 and 2.678 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.

Undergraduate Special Subject in Mechanical Engineering Designing For People Maria Yang, Robin Dahan, Madeline Hickman Mon-Fri, Jan 14-18, 22-25, 28-30, 10am-01:00pm, 3-370 & 4-231 Pre-register on WebSIS and attend first class. Limited to 18 participants. No listeners Prereq: Level: U 6 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. 2.S97 is a class aimed to immerse students into the field of product design with no prior experience necessary. A series of projects target each aspect of the design process: ideation, user-needs finding, rapid prototyping, graphic design, branding, and presenting. The final project combines all the skills the students learned throughout the course, culminating in a final presentation that is open to the public. We will provide materials for students to create posters and physical models. There will be a combination of individual and group work. Students will walk away with a creative approach to problem solving and a toolbox of skills to help them in their engineering and design classes. The fun yet rigorous approach to the class is meant to inspire a passion for design. The class will meet for three hours a day plus project work outside of class. Classroom schedule: 1/14-1/25: 3-370, 1/28-1/30: 4-231. Contact: Robin Dahan, 2.s97-2013-request@mit.edu |

Undergraduate Special Subject in Mechanical Engineering Maslab - Mobile Autonomous Systems Laboratory Arthur Petron Mon Jan 7 thru Fri Jan 11, 10am-03:00pm, 37-212, Final on 2/1, 3-5 pm, 26-100 Selection by departmental lottery. Do not pre-register on WebSIS. Enter lottery by: 01-Dec-2012 Limited to 80 participants. No listeners Prereq: Permission of instructor, programming & mech prototyping exp Level: U 6 units Graded P/D/F Can be repeated for credit Fee: 200.00 for kit; returned after successful completion. 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. 6.S186/2.S972 is an autonomous robotics competition/class that emphasizes technical AI, vision, mapping and navigation from a robot-mounted camera. Few restrictions are placed on materials used, sensors and/or actuators - enabling students to build robots according to their own creative ideas. Teams should have 3-4 members and be prepared to devote the bulk of IAP creating their robot. Teams should have members with programming (AI, state machines), mechanical (mechanisms, fast prototyping), and electrical (breadboarding and soldering) skill-sets - and should utilize a well-developed time management strategy. The final competition will be held in 26-100 on February 1st, 2013 at 5PM. The robot open house will begin at 3PM.
