Our Mission<\/h1>\n

An engineering education encompasses more than formal classes and lectures. The Department of Mechanical Engineering provides Clemson University students with the Mechanical Engineering Student Shop and its resources. Specifically, it supplies tools, facilities, materials, and supervisors to foster learning of engineering fabrication processes and tools.\u00a0 Students may utilize the shop’s resources at no additional cost.\u00a0 The primary function is to provide a safe<\/strong>, clean, and educational environment to complete class work, research, and personal projects through hands-on experience.<\/p>\n
