RTEmagicC_shop1_01          RTEmagicC_shop2_01

The machine shop supports student projects, the Manufacturing Processes and Systems course, research, and instruction in hands-on manufacturing. The shop has equipment for welding, machining, cutting, and assembly. Students can be found regularly using this facility. Many students work on either the Cardinal Formula Racing car, senior design projects, semester projects, or research projects.

Proper safety instruction is required before using the equipment. Once instructed and given authorization, students are allowed to use the shop. Students have worked on projects that have ranged from fixing a broken piece of furniture and custom testing fixtures, to fabricating components for an open wheel style race car.

The machine shop has always been the center of the hands-on education that the mechanical engineering department prides itself on delivering to its students.
