The purpose of the Mechanical Engineering Student Shop is to give Mechanical Engineering undergraduate and graduates and other students enrolled in ME courses a well-equipped and safe environment to work on their student projects related to the ME course work, thesis or approved special projects. Approved students from Aerospace Engineering & Mechanics as well as Bio-medical Engineering are now being given access to the shop as well. Location & Hours M.E. Room 180 Shop hours 7:00am-12:00 & 12:30pm-5:30pm, MONDAY thru THURSDAY (Cleanup starts at 5:00 pm) 12:30pm - 4:15pm FRIDAY See Peter Zimmermann in the Research Shop(Professional Shop) (ME 171) for access. Peter is available only in the afternoon on these days. (Cleanup Starts at 4:00PM). General Rules for Use of The Mechanical Engineering Student Shop FULL USE OF SHOP IS ALLOWED ONLY TO THOSE STUDENTS THAT HAVE COMPLETED ALL SECTIONS OF THE REQUIRED INTRODUCTORY SHOP TRAINING Check to see if you are on the ACCESS list.NOT ON ACCESS LIST, NO WORK IN SHOP... NO EXCEPTIONS!Visit the shop prior to the first time you intend to work with machine or hand tools to familiarize yourself with the layout of the shop and location of basic tools.

You may be sent away to redo or correct any incomplete or inaccurate drawings. NO DRAWING NO WORK!Use of the shop will be permitted at any of the hours it is normally open and supervised. Shop work is generally restricted to projects related to the individual graduate students thesis, research work or, for undergraduates, their class projects, honor thesis, special projects and/or work related to employment the Mechanical Engineering Department including M.E.

Safety glasses with side shields or appropriate goggles are required. Open toe shoes or sandals are not allowed.

REMEMBER THIS IS A TENTATIVE PRIVILEGE NOT A RIGHT...WHEN IN DOUBT ASK QUESTIONS Safety Glasses Department policy as well as state law require safety glasses with side shields to be be worn in the Student shop. There is a limited assortment of safety glasses available for use in the student shop but users are encouraged to purchase their own. (SAFETY GLASSES ARE NO LONGER BEING SOLD IN THE STUDENT SHOP) Boyton Health Service Eye Clinic has a "Safety Eyewear Program" where individuals may purchase prescription as well as non prescrition safety eyewear. From the Mechanical Engineering Shop Committee "It has been brought to our attention that there is some inappropriate use of the Student' Shop. An example would be a student worker who is an employee of a sponsored research project being asked to use the Students' Shop to build fixtures for another student or faculty on that project. This is contrary to the purpose of the Students' Shop, which is to give undergraduate and graduate students a well-equipped and safe environment to work on their student projects, including thesis projects. This shop is not to be a low-cost alternative to the Research Shop. Appropriate use of the Students' Shop would be for 1) fabrication by a graduate student in support that person's thesis research or 2) fabrication by an undergraduate student in support that person's undergraduate research project, honors thesis research project, or independent study project or by a group of ungraduates in support of their student project or design project. We request that you ask your research group to conduct their work accordingly. We do not allow this inappropriate use" Catalog Selection/FAX There is a catalog selection from various vendors on a wide range of products just inside the main door in the student shop ME Room 180. Design students should see Mel for information on using the fax machine for incoming faxes. ACCESS Link
