Mechanical Laboratories
The MET program has numerous laboratories with equipment to provide hands-on application of classroom learning. These laboratories encompass many aspects of the MET curriculum, including:
- Instron multi-purpose testing machine
- Bending moment and deflection of beams apparatus
- Electronic strain measurement equipment
- Static equilibrium devices
- Dynamics test stands: centrifugal force, ballistic projectiles, linear momentum, conservation of potential energy, acceleration, forces of gravity
- Machine shop for prototyping
- Computer Numeric Control (CNC), CNC machining center, CNC turret lathe
- Rapid prototyping
- Heat exchangers - conduction, convection, and radiation heat transfer units
- Heat pipes and pumps, solar energy systems
- Subsonic wind tunnels, reaction and impulse turbines
- Mechanical measurements lab with a wide range of electro-mechanical sensors and data acquisition electronics
Electrical course requirements also include dedicated laboratories with electronic equipment.
