The education that students receive from the MIT MechE Department prepares them for successful careers in their chosen field. Part of that educational process is about receiving the skills and information needed to succeed outside of the classroom, so that students are ready to face the challenges of the professional world.
MIT researchers have engineered a device that delivers a tiny, high-pressure jet of medicine through the skin without the use of a hypodermic needle.
Nick Fang says predicting how hydrogels transform could help in the design of more complex and effective drug-delivery systems.
Student-built vehicles compete in a 50 meter drag race and a climb to the top of a 4-storey parking garage. The products of this semester included go-karts, scooters, longboards, and even a set of powered roller skates.

Sand in an hourglass might seem simple and straightforward, but such granular materials are actually tricky to model. Ken Kamrin of MIT MechE has come up with a model that predicts the flow of granular materials under a variety of conditions.
One of the challenges of making a PCB-based micro quadrotor has been vibrations in the relatively thin, flexible frame. To visualize the vibrations, I used a strobe light set to a frequency that is slightly higher or lower than the propeller RPM. More info on ...
Snow drifting with an ultralight (25kg / 26kg filled with snow) electric go-kart during a March snowstorm. The kart has independent RWD and about five horsepower, so it puts on a good show. More info on the kart: http://scolton.blogspot.com/p/cap-kart.html#tinykart Tracked skateboard ...
Sometimes the fastest pathway from point A to point B is not a straight line: for example, if you're underwater and contending with strong and shifting currents.
MIT mechanical engineering graduate student Nenad Miljkovic on condensation, nanodroplet formation, and new nanopatterned surfaces.
An online tool called "Impurities to Efficiency" (known as I2E) allows companies or researchers exploring alternative manufacturing strategies to plug in descriptions of their planned materials and processing steps.
