Here one can find some of the equipment incorporated into our aerospace and aeronautics instruction.

The Design Lab facilitates the completion of student projects.  Students will see their ideas become reality as they use this space to complete the final phase of their design processes.

In the Hydraulics and Pneumatics Lab, students learn concepts of fluid dynamics including effects of pressure, flow, viscosity, temperature and transfer of energy

The Industrial Robotics Lab is a recognized Authorized Certified Education Training Facility ensuring rigorous and industry-relevant training for students enrolled in academic programs as well as industry professionals. FANUC certified professors conduct all training and are committed to providing the best learning experience.

The Makerspace Lab includes workstations, 3d printers, a laser cutter, 3d scanner, soldering stations, and other equipment to use in the ideation and implementation phases of the design process. This lab is securely designed for work associated with Stratasys industrial 3-D printers.

The Materials and Processes Lab includes resources for welding, manual machining, forging, casting, materials testing and plastics. The M&P lab also has Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining, sand testing, metal spectroscopy and pattern making capabilities.

The Mechatronics Lab serves as a classroom for electricity/electronics courses, programmable logic controller courses, and mechatronics capstone courses. The lab houses state-of-the-industry equipment for multiple engineering and engineering technology programs, including multimeters, oscilloscopes, and power supplies.

The Networking Lab provides an environment for computer networking courses, supporting the exploration and instruction of various networking concepts.

The Pattern and Fabrication Lab supports students across aeronautics, engineering, and engineering technology programs as they learn about mechanics and structures. Students combine theory with hands-on experiential engagement to enhance learning while they test the efficacy of designs.

The Rockwell Automation Advanced Mechatronics Lab is a classroom lab that includes logic controllers, analog and digital IO modules, control systems, Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI), motor controllers, and analog/digital trainers.

The Runway is home to three laboratories that support hands-on, simulated training in all three areas of air traffic control: Tower, Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) and En-Route.  The simulation workstations can be used to create any combination of tower, terminal, and en route controller positions, and provide future air traffic controllers with the look and feel of an actual air traffic control facility.

The WESTT CS/BV Virtual Engine Test Bench, from Price Induction, offers a unique and multidisciplinary tool for illustrating the behavior of a turbofan engine and providing a platform for practical laboratory coursework and instruction. It illustrates fundamental concepts in three critical areas: thermodynamics, aerodynamics, and control theory.
