Senior Design Room (Before and After Pictures)

Room A212 in the College of Engineering became available during the 2012-2013 academic year and was chosen to host the Mechanical Engineering Senior Design Lab. However, it was a mess as shown in the BEFORE picture. After some cleaning, redesign and repainting (partly with white board walls) the room became operational near the end of the spring 2013 as shown in the AFTER picture.

Future Goal: Development of a Large, Comprehensive Engineering Design Lab

The following is from pages 33 and 34 of the ME Vision Booklet:

Our Vision
Engineering Design Lab

At the beginning of the 2014-2015 school year, we established our first Engineering Design Lab to create a work space for students to learn via a hands-on approach. It provides a unique facility for students to work on projects that are symbiotic to their classroom learning. Although still in its formative stage, we see this space growing into a state-of-the-art engineering design lab which will facilitate a more comprehensive learning environment for students.

  • This lab will include state-of-the-art collaborative work benches, key engineering analysis equipment (e.g., signal analyzers and oscilloscopes), and important design software on resident computers.

  • As design is such an important part of engineering, it is proposed that a unique building or building module will be dedicated to senior design.

  • Ultimately, this design lab will enable students to be better prepared for industry
