Tennessee Tech Engineering Laboratory uses TestResources equipment to provide mechanical engineering students with hands-on experiences in engineering design activities that relate to a variety of engineering disciplines. The laboratory experiences allow students who have already decided on an engineering major to see how their chosen discipline relates to other engineering disciplines. The laboratory activities also provide those students who have not yet decided on a particular engineering major with experiences that will help them make a choice.
