CNC and Welding Laboratory

Students gain manufacturing experience using modern CNC machining and welding equipment. The lab supports coursework, capstones and research fabrication.

On-site fabrication of components for classroom design projects, student competition team and research projects is supported in the Manufacturing Laboratory.

This space was refreshed in 2024 to improve student accessibility to equipment and contains a wide range of manual and CNC fabrication equipment, welding equipment, materials testing equipment and workspaces for students. The space is supported and managed by two professional machinists.

This space is used as part of the Mechanical Engineering Manufacturing Lab and Engineering Materials labs as well as supporting capstone design projects.
