  The MindWorks is a physical space, but equally important, it is a cultural experience. In the physical space there are artifacts including engineering resources, mechanical models, wall decorations, a meeting place and white boards. These artifacts focus on solid mechanics, design, and machine design. Culturally, this same space is an intersection for graduate students, undergraduate students, faculty, staff, and visitors to exchange ideas, explore problems, and share knowledge. A catalyst to this cultural experience is the continuous quest for innovation.
