Hands-on Learning
College of Engineering learning environments are designed to meet the demands of changing technologies and industrial methods, providing students with a state-of-the-art, hands-on, polytechnic education. Facilities in Buildings 9, 13, and 17 help our students study a broad range of applications including advanced vehicle design, computer integrated manufacturing, electronics processing, integrated circuit design, computer design, photogrammetry, geomatics, robotics, strength of materials, wireless communications, and energy systems. Outdoor experiments, such as surveying, operating autonomous roving robots, and flying experimental model aircraft, are conducted on the Engineering Meadow. Many of the college’s 61 laboratory suites operate 24/7 using electronic access control for students and faculty. Our software suite includes more than 100 specialized industrial programs.
 
Revitalization of Facilities, Equipment, and Student Learning Opportunities
In 2001 the College of Engineering opened Engineering Laboratory Building 17. The $52 million Engineering Laboratory Building is an impressive two story structure that is part of our 250,000 square feet of laboratory and instructional space. In 2007 a new wind tunnel was installed. The 50th Anniversary is an opportunity for you to make a difference in the future of engineering education. The College of Engineering in the next era seeks to prepare students for a global economy by focusing on the following:
strong engineering fundamentals with a learn by doing approach, teamwork, including international collaborations, communication and presentation skills, and project management, finance, and systems engineering exposure.
