Makerspace – Be your most creative self in the makerspace. Create a prototype on a 3D printer using a variety of materials. Use the laser engraver to “sign” a passion project. The makerspace also a vacuum former, a circuit board printer, a sewing machine and a T-shirt press

Student Innovation Project Lab – You can develop your own projects in the lab, where some of our students are building a working car.

Machine Shop – You can cut, turn, weld and shape medal in the machine ship, which is equipped with a computer-controlled plasma cutter, CNC milling machines and lathes, variable speed drill presses, band saws, machine presses, disc and belt grinders, welders, and rapid prototype machines.

Electronics Lab – This lab has bench space for soldering, function generators, analog and digital microcontrollers, spectrum analyzer, and oscilloscopes.

Fluid Mechanics Lab – Once you build your prototype, you can test your design’s aerodynamics in the wind tunnel. You’ll also get to use a table-top fluid process automation system, a Rankine cycler and more.

Strengths of Materials Lab – Test, measure, and destroy what you make by pulling, pushing, and hitting them with a compression/tension tester and a dynamic fatigue tester as well as test for impact, hardness and torque.

CIST Virtual Reality Lab – Produce, test and evaluate virtual reality and augmented reality applications using a presentation platform and specialized hardware and software.

Sensors and Automation Lab – Work with sensors and automation in this lab, where you can use programmable logic controllers, wireless sensing hardware, ultrasonic flaw detectors, and more.

Project/Study Rooms – Students from all majors can use these rooms to work together to study and present and brainstorm ideas.

Computer Lab – This is a general computing lab for the purpose of teaching various courses that require the use of specialized software, digital media, and other desktop applications. The lab is open for student use when no classes are held in the room.

CIST Systems, Networks and Projects (SNAP Lab) – This lab is equipped with powerful desktop computers and a dedicated server room, which enable students to build computer servers, networking, and cybersecurity equipment in a simulated data center.

Computer Information Systems and Technology Main Teaching Lab - This lab is equipped with powerful desktop computers for the purpose of teaching computer-related courses in programming, networking, database, and cybersecurity.

Four General Classrooms – These classrooms are fully equipped with the latest technology to allow for blended learning and personalized instruction.
