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.
This video shows a simulation of a vehicle driving on two types of off-road surfaces. One vehicle is on a flat, sloped surface, and the other vehicle is on a rough, sloped surface. It can be seen that the roughness causes one vehicle to rollover. Read more at the ...

The researchers needed to be able to change a cat's lapping speed in order to test their theory. So they developed a robotic version of a cat's tongue -- a mechanical column with a 1-inch glass disk at the tip. This device allowed the researchers to study the liquid column for different ...
