Automotive Laboratory
The automotive lab supports all facets of the automotive concentration by providing a hands-on experience with vehicle components, subsystems, systems integration and performance validation. The goals of the lab are to provide fundamental knowledge for automotive engineering technology students and to allow them to become technological leaders within the automotive industry.
Collaborating with industrial sponsors, such as General Motors, the lab has numerous internal combustion engines, transmissions and system display boards which aid in transitioning students from theory to real-world experience. While working alongside outstanding instructors in a modern facility, the technical leaders of tomorrow will gain hands-on knowledge of the industry's current practices and future needs.
Additionally, many Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) student competition and senior design vehicles are designed and fabricated in the automotive lab.
