3. Mission Statement The Mechanical Engineering Department at the Rochester Institute of Technology will be implementing a new course curriculum by Fall 2013, including lab experiments for first year students, because it will be a more effective way to introduce key engineering principles early in their education. The ME Lab Hardware family of projects will be responsible for the design, development and production of this lab hardware.
