week 8 Prompted post

For this post I have to do a hands on activity pertaining to mechanical engineering. Today was actually the perfect day for this post because today in my engineering class we got to use the lab and go over all the skills needed for the lab and the safety rules along with getting our second project. In the lab all students had to complete hands on tasks as a quiz. We had to use various machines such the table saw, drill bit, and other equipment. these types of labs are used by other engineers students and professional engineers and for our second project will need to use the labs often. I feel as though I understood how to do the specific tasks better than if I would have by just reading about the machines in the lab. I feel it was more thorough and better explained the machines when they did the task and talked about it.
