B.E. candidates Per Wimmercranz (left) and Karl Geijer (center) and M.E.M. candidate Josh Kjenner (right) work on an apparatus to test designs for an all-terrain vehicle throttle. An ENGS 290 (“Engineering Design”) project, their work is sponsored by Moto Tassinari, a company specializing in aftermarket parts for ATVs.

MacLean Engineering Sciences Center under construction

With construction of the MacLean Engineering Sciences Center proceeding apace, building committee members Peter Robbie, left, and Chris Levey stroll through the atrium linking the new building with Cummings Hall. The move into Thayer School’s expanded space is scheduled for spring 2006.

ENGS 76 competition in the Great HallThe Great Hall was transformed into a Martian landscape for a micro-rover competition in the fall-term course ENGS 76: Machine Engineering. Remote-controlled rovers navigated the red-planet terrain to retrieve rocks and other debris.

Crouching, left to right, are competitors Ariel Dowling ’05 and Narissa Chang ’05. B.E. candidate Stephanie Johns, standing, judged the event.

When the new MacLean Engineering Sciences Center opens in 2006, a glass atrium will connect it to Cummings Hall. The sunlit corridor will be more than a beautiful space. Providing ready access and views into several of the design, fabrication, and testing facilities of Thayer School’s new Unified Projects Laboratory, it will be an open window on engineering education at Dartmouth.
