The purpose of the Mechanical Engineering Lab Team (MELT) is to teach students how to use the wide array of tools available in the machine shop and connected labs. This is usually done through project-based learning, where a MELT Tech walks a student through a project of their choice, giving them hands-on knowledge of various manufacturing processes. MELT also occasionally leads workshops, which range from general overviews of various machines to specific skills (e.g. how to set up a Solidworks part for the 60W laser cutter).
