Research Facilities

The Department of Mechanical Engineering research facilities include twenty-one
research laboratories and sites covering research in eleven categories. The
department maintains extensive computing facilities and software to support
research and instruction.

Current research facilities in the Department of Mechanical Engineering are:

Computing Facilities

Faculty and graduate students frequently use workstations in support of their
research using advanced computational and data acquisition software, e.g. computational
fluid dynamics codes such as FIDAP, stress analysis using such packages as SolidWorks
and COSMOS, and LabView data acquisition software. All departmental computers are
connected to the campus network, providing substantial computational flexibility.
Numerous plotters and printing options are available. A full-time Computer Support
Specialist, supports departmental computing requirements. Computing Facilities.
