The practice is considered one of the key instruments of learning. Most commonly it is believed that theoretical education itself is not enough to prepare students to real engineering life where they struggle to overcome difficulties. Having a workshop experience is also important because it leads students to get a better understanding of the modules of undergrad education. Therefore, The Department of MEE in the University of Sheffield has been teaching Engineering Application module inside Project Space where students at the University of Sheffield are manufacturing and testing a Gyrocar using a range of manufacturing techniques. Engineering application provides students with hands-on experience of a range of workshop fabrication processes and techniques. The project undertaking is the manufacture of a motorised gyroscopic vehicle “Gyrocar”. During the project, students learn and practice the processes of; MillingDrilling3D printingLaser CuttingTurningVacuum formingCasting RoutingBlankingMarking outSheet metal workFasteningTappingSolderingAssemble How the Gyrocar Works? The gyroscope effect is an application of angular momentum. There are many common instances of the gyroscope effect, whether you were aware of it or not, spinning tops, bicycle, compasses. The essence of gyroscope effect is that if an object is spinning around one axis, and a torque is applied about a second axis, …
