The students hard work has not gone unnoticed, on Monday the 19th, the students will meet MnScu Chancellor James H. McCormick. He will be at Mesabi CC for a meeting with the Provost and a meeting has been arranged for him to come and visit the students and engage each other with a Q&A session. More will be posted on the happenings after the event.
Engineering devices are arriving daily! Being a new program we needed to purchase many new engineering tools and we have been in the process for the last few months. Some of the highlights are the new Dimension 3-D printer that can print models that were designed in a 3-D drafting program. We have also just received all of our computers with all the appropriate engineering software installed. Those are our two highest priced items that we have, but we also have many smaller priced items that are incorporated into our everyday teaching, ranging from our 96" smart board, two TVs that are connected to our desktops and a 36" plotter for printing our drawings.
Being an engineering program, we strive to find the newest and coolest gadgets. We have a great technology department helping us stay up to date with modern technology. We are currently looking into two gadgets that are rivaled by none: a note pad that records vocal notes and your pen strokes and loads them onto your computer for synced playback of both at a later time. The other is a pocket sized projector that would give us extra mobility when doing presentations.
We are always looking for new gadgets....
