Overview:
Undergraduate Laboratories at Leeds
• Mechanical Engineering taught utilising laboratory sessions.
• Enthuse, Motivate and Inspire students.
• Lab sessions last 2-3 hours.
• 20-30 students.
• Several lab sessions needed.
• Multiple copies of equipment needed.
• Costs limit quality of equipment.
