Thursday March 23rd, 2017, Lassonde’s Mechanical Engineering Club (MEC) hosted a Reverse Engineering Workshop event in Bergeron Orientation room.

With curiosity and screwdrivers at the ready, the group of attendees enjoyed an evening of experimentation in reverse engineering and learning via destruction led by Roger Carrick, Designer-in-Residence in the Mechanical Engineering Department.

The event was well timed as for many of the students, their pre-exam stress was alleviated as they broke into the core of VCRs, printers, coffee makers, popcorn makers and other appliances. While having fun disassembling the ‘ancient tech‘ of VCR’s and more, participants got to look at design aspects, component functionality all for better understanding of electronic and appliance mechanisms.
