Research Laboratories

ENE researchers utilize dedicated lab space in Seng-Liang Wang Hall. The 17,000-square-foot facility was designed with a user-centered, flexible space approach and features simulation classrooms with removable walls and a Maker Space—all in view of an observation room. Additional rooms include smart suites, interview suites, laboratory suites where faculty work side-by-side with grad students, and a large common space with kitchen and lockers as well as space dedicated as "quiet rooms" for writing and study.

Simulation classrooms are transformed for many uses. A faculty member meets with her lab team—both in person and virtual.

Faculty and graduate students meet in the Makers Lab to design objects to 3-D print.

Graduate students use the "quiet zone" for writing.
