In the lab of Michael Bartlett, new developments are being made in the realm of integrating rigid and soft electronics. The electrically conductive liquid metal adhesive is so good, you can run over it with a car and it still works!

Assistant Professor Joseph Meadows talks about the unique research his team is conducting in jet noise at the Virginia Tech Advanced Propulsion and Power Laboratory.

Carrie Craig, the president of the Society of Automotive Engineers at Virginia Tech, talks about the group and its operations at Virginia Tech.

Mechanical Engineering is a broad field with many options. Hear about a few of those from students Ashley, Sai, Alex, Claire, Daniel, and Evelyn.

In this first-ever round table, Kelly talks with three first-generation college students (Mikayla Dolo-Pittman, Abdallah Elhilo, and Aaron Marshall) to learn more about their college experiences and why they chose the Virginia Tech Mechanical Engineering program.

A quick overview of the Virginia Tech Center for Vehicle Systems & Safety.

Army veteran Tammy Landeen wanted to be able to work more easily in her garden, something that was difficult from her wheelchair. A team of seniors from the Department of Mechanical Engineering worked for a year, including starting all over at the halfway point, to get her what she needed. Sponsorship provided by QL Plus.
