Abstract
A feature of the Mechanical Engineering (ME) curriculum is its relevance to industry practices. ME classes and clubs train students in the use of hardware and software tools for fabricating mechanical components. The relevancy of this training is diminished when the tools available are not representative of those used in industry. We hope to provide updates to existing, antiquated machines, coupled with the purchase of new machines, to augment the manufacturing capabilities of these facilities.
