World-Class Facilities
Facilities across the engineering school and university support curricular and cocurricular engineering design projects and project-based learning.*
Our students have access to highly specialized equipment, training and certification on equipment, workshops, and more. And in addition to facilities that are open to all engineering students, our academic departments also have discipline-specific design spaces for students that address their unique needs.
*The school is in the planning stages for the construction of a unified space for student design.
Learn about our design facilities, equipment, training, and more. The following facilities are open to all students.
