Laboratory Classrooms
The College of Aeronautics and Engineering is home to a wide array of research facilities.
Hydraulics and Pneumatics
This lab has two Parker Hannifin hydraulic trainers and two pneumatic trainers.
Rockwell Automation Advanced Mechatronics Lab
There are multiple classes that take place in this lab, including the electricity/electronics courses, the programmable logic controller courses and the mechatronics capstone courses.
Materials & Processes Lab and Foundry
In the Materials & Processes Lab, students participate in six rotations: welding, manual machining, forging,metal casting, materials testing, and plastics.
Fuel Cell Research Lab
The Fuel Cell Research Lab features a high-capacity fuel storage and delivery system that can store and deliver logistical fuels such as hydrogen, methane, natural gas, and syngas directly to fume hoods for continuous and long-term testing of fuel cells.
3D Printer Lab
The 3D Printer Lab was funded by a Regionally Aligned Priorities in Delivering Skills (RAPIDS) grant from the State of Ohio.
Aero Instrumentation Lab
The Vibration Fundamentals Training System (VFT) is an integrated educational package for teaching/learning the fundamental principles of mechanical vibration as well as engineering mechanics. It provides both a comprehensive hands-on experimental device and an instrumentation package.
Aero Virtual Engine Test Bench
The WESTT CS/BV virtual engine test bench, from Price Induction, offers a unique and multi-disciplinary tool for illustrating the behavior of a turbofan engine and providing a platform for practical laboratory coursework and instruction. It illustrates fundamental concepts in three critical areas: thermodynamics, aerodynamics, and control theory.
