Innovation Way

The Design Lab facilitates the completion of student projects.  Students will see their ideas become reality as they use this space to complete the final phase of their design processes.

The Fuel Cell Research Lab is dedicated to providing research, insights, and breakthroughs to the ever-evolving field of Fuel Cells, a practical technology for major reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

The Makerspace Lab includes workstations, 3d printers, a laser cutter, 3d scanner, soldering stations, and other equipment to use in the ideation and implementation phases of the design process. This lab is securely designed for work associated with Stratasys industrial 3-D printers.

The Materials and Processes Lab includes resources for welding, manual machining, forging, casting, materials testing and plastics. The M&P lab also has Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining, sand testing, metal spectroscopy and pattern making capabilities.

The Materials Research Lab uses x-rays and optical microscopy to study new liquid crystalline materials.

The Pattern and Fabrication Lab supports students across aeronautics, engineering, and engineering technology programs as they learn about mechanics and structures. Students combine theory with hands-on experiential engagement to enhance learning while they test the efficacy of designs.

This lab also supports the Foundry Technology program's tooling and pattern making capstone course, a project-based lecture lab focused on production foundry tooling, testing, and quality approval.
