In 2.679 (Electronics for Mechanical Systems II), Massachusetts Institute of Technology mechanical engineering students learn about electronic principles and how to apply them to create mechanical systems. Students imagine something they would like to build, then take a printed circuit board design through the stages of fabrication and assembly until they're ready to incorporate it into their actual device. We wanted to highlight a new class and reveal the department's personality and culture, allowing students to glimpse behind the curtain, feel welcomed, and be excited about the possibilities of joining the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The video was included in internal and external marketing campaigns and reached almost a quarter million viewers.
