MicroKits Continue ME’s Hands-On Learning Tradition
When instruction suddenly switched from in-person to distance learning, ME faculty and staff worked together to plan, create, assemble, and distribute lab kits to students for their laboratory instruction.
Berkeley Mechanical Engineering is one of the top ranked public mechanical engineering programs in the nation and is consistently ranked as one of the top mechanical engineering departments in the world. Our teaching and research laboratories are among the most active, innovative and productive worldwide. Our faculty and students come from highly diverse backgrounds and represent the best and brightest from all over the world.
