The Mechanical Engineering Department regularly hosts guided lab tours for high school students, first year students, incoming mechanical engineering students, or anyone interested in mechanical engineering. This year, we will be hosting tours on the following dates:
June 15, 2017, 10:30 to 12:00
August 10, 2017, 10:30 to 12:00
Come meet some of our current MECH students and get their perspective on the department and program as they show you around our facilities. See the cool gadgets our student teams are working on and learn about the many different areas in which a mechanical engineer can apply his or her knowledge. Get a look at the cutting-edge technology inside our labs and see the kinds of research mechanical engineers can do. It?s a great chance to find out what our department is all about and what you can do with a mechanical engineering degree from UBC!
For those interested, there will also be a half-hour long advising session held after the tour where participan ...
