Of the labs that we visited during this class I was most drawn to the machine shop. I am a hands on learner so to see that we have the opportunity to get hands on experience with some of these machines was very exciting. The instructor that runs the machine shop seemed …show more content…
I have always seen these sound proof rooms on TV but you cannot get a true feel for how sound proof they are through the TV. The instructor used a balloon to demonstrate the room to us.

Mechanical engineers have many different responsibilities, some of which are simple tasks while others require professional knowledge and can mean life or death. It is the engineer’s responsibility to test every aspect of their design to find any problems with the design. If these tests are not completed properly, any imperfections could end up becoming fatal. From these tests, there could be changes made to improve the flaws of the parts being assembled. Once any tests have been completed the engineer will prepare a technical review to show improvement or failure of a
