Lab Facilities
Bldg 41 (Engineering III)
Completed in 2005, Bldg 41 contains approximately 41,000 square feet of usable space and is comprised of the Grant M. Brown Engineering Building, the Baldwin and Mary Reinhold Aerospace Engineering Laboratories, and the Jet Propulsion Lab. The facility includes space for Aerospace Engineering offices and computer lab; Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Advanced Manufacturing Lab, Materials Removal Lab, Materials Joining and Net Shape Lab, Department Shop, two CAD Simulation Labs, and Metrology Lab; Materials Engineering Biomaterials Lab, X-ray Defraction Lab, Sem Lab, Sample Preparation, Corrosion Lab, Microelectronics Fabrication Lab, Spectroscopy Lab, Service Lab, and materials engineering offices; and Civil Engineering - Fab Safety Lab.
Bldg 192 (Engineering IV)
Opened in 2007, Bldg 192 concentrates much of the university's engineering programs in one area. The $28 million, 104,000-square-foot facility includes modern classroom space for the aerospace, mechanical, civil, environmental, industrial and manufacturing engineering programs. High-tech equipment includes lasers for mapping, visualization, and velocity measurement in the wind and water tunnel labs; scanning electron and optical microscopes; electronic manufacturing; manufacturing automation; human factors; and helicopter controls and gyroscope controls test systems. College-wide facilities (currently under construction) include a multidisciplinary clean lab, "dirty" lab, and multipurpose project lab.
