Move from theory to real-world within our School of Engineering Innovation Center where you'll collaborate with fellow students on a project from start to finish and present your final results to your industry, small-business or social entrepreneur sponsor. And, our well-equipped laboratories in Kettering Laboratories and the Advanced Integrating Manufacturing Center (AIM) represent a large-scale engineering education center including:
- Aerospace Laboratory that includes a 150 mph wind tunnel and a fully programmable flight simulator.
- Energy Laboratory that provides computer data acquisition with a wide variety of experience in thermal and renewable energy systems.
- Biomechanics Laboratory that facilitates detailed experiments on human motion and balance.
- Materials Laboratory that gives students hands-on experience with metals, ceramic and composites.
Our Department leads by example and is committed to educating you in design, testing, manufacturing and research. Classes are taught by professors who are known for their accessibility, advising and mentorship outside, as well as inside, the classroom.
