Mechanical Engineering Labs

Students use this laboratory facility for the study of mechanical measurements and instrumentation. Equipment includes:

• Low-speed wind tunnel
• Apparatuses for the study of hydraulic turbines, fans, fins, electric motors, PLC, and strength of materials
• Electronics lab for the study of data acquisition and signal conditioning circuitry

Equipment includes:

• Sheet metal shear, rollers, notcher, and punch press
• Manual and CNC milling machines and lathes
• Plastics injection molding machine
• Welding station with hood
• Rapid prototyping (i.e., 3-D printer)
• Metrology equipment, including coordinate measuring machine

Double-screen workstations run Solidworks, the industry standard for 3D design, simulation, and documentation tools.
