Machine Shop Access Policy

Students will need to complete module training in order to obtain required access to the Machine Shop. Training will be provided through modules listed below. The student’s level of training will be indicated on a Machine Shop Badge, which needs to be displayed at all times when in the Machine Shop.

Space in modules is limited and available on a first-come-first-served basis. Shop fee per module is payable through the links below. Mechanical engineering students receive preference over non-mechanical engineering students.
