“A modern workspace where engineering students can come together outside of the classroom to think, experiment, design, build and exchange ideas.”
Primarily aimed at the Engineering Department's undergraduates, this is an area where you could:
Get involved in a student team...
...or work on your own project - one good source of examples is the Instructables website...
Instructables - a vast array of project ideas and construction details from engineering and technology through to food and fashion, for example:
- A camera mount which attaches to your pocket knife.
- A Raspberry Pi based media player.
- A jet powered go-kart!
- ...and over 10000 other ideas!!!
...or maybe you would just like to have a go at using a 3D printer...
Thingiverse - large numbers of designs to print on a 3D printer, which are useful, interesting or in some cases simply nice to look at. For example:
- A 20 sided dice.
- A quad-copter!!!
- Various nuts, bolts and bushings.
- Even shoes!
...the list of possibilities of what to do with the equipment (which will soon be in place) is endless.
