Hands-On Learning
Students analyze the effect of a force on the body on which it is applied.
Students collaborate on a design project where they 3D modeled and built toys to raise STEM awareness.
Student engaged in a site plan drafting exercise.
Some students discuss material behavior (background) while others collaborate over their design projects (foreground).
A student works on a data analysis project (background) while another practices engineering drawing (foreground).
Engineering Program Director and Associate Professor, Dr. Rahul Renu, explains the functioning of a Geneva mechanism to his students. 3D printers were used to bring this mechanism to life and to enable hands-on learning.
