The design studio is designed for rapid prototyping of designs. 它包括一个计算机实验室, 创新休息室, 商店, 材料存储, 项目存储, 组队站.

This space is for design groups to use to conceptualize designs, 组装模型, 测试原型. The first part of the Innovation Center is the lecture area, with two large presentation stations. Each presentation station has a Sony Bravia 65-inch 4K LED display and white boards that can be raised and lowered. Once the lecture or presentation is complete, students move from the lecture area to one of ten group stations. Students can connect their laptops to the monitors to discuss and work on their projects. CSI 280 (Flex Corridor) provides construction spill-over space and CSI 283 (Studio Storage) provide adequate space for groups to store projects.

The 创新休息室, CSI-256, features soft-seating and whiteboards galore. It is used for team meetings, brainstorming, and study sessions. The furniture is designed to be modular and flexible. This space is available for all students, and can be reserved by organized student groups.

这个房间, csi - 258, contains 42 PC workstations, grouped into seven “pods” (6 PCs plus a flat screen) designed to promote student collaboration. One additional instructor workstation allows software demonstrations to be routed to the large flatscreens installed at each pod. 在秋天, this room is primarily used to support Design I (ENGR 1381), which focuses on Computer 援助ed Design, 及设计V (engr3181), which focuses on Digital Logic Design. 在春天, CSI 258 houses Design II (ENGR 1382), which includes instruction in Microsoft Excel and MATLab. The room is considered to be an integral part of our design suite (consisting of CSI 282 -- The Cube, CSI 258, and the other associated storage rooms and 商店 housed around the perimeter of the Cube). As such, it is reserved for engineering students any time a design class is scheduled. During non-class times, the room is used as a general engineering computer room. CSI 258 also houses a Stratasys Fortus 250 3D printer that is used to support student design projects on an on-demand basis.

The 电子产品商店 (CSI 289) houses our Electronics Technicians. There are racks to drop off or pick up components or equipment in the alcove just outside the shop. Inside the shop are many electrical and electronic components for your use in design projects (motors, 传感器, 电线, 电脑, 等.), as well as electrical tools (soldering irons, meters, heat-shrink tubing, power supplies, 等.). We have a T|Tech QuickCiruit QCJ5 circuit board router for rapid prototyping of circuit designs available. You can to check out anything electronic that you need, and the techs will train you on any tools you don't know how to use.

The machine shop contains an enclosed wood shop section, 里面有台锯吗, 路由器/路由器表, 斜切锯, vertical metal cutting band, 带锯, 木砂光机, 钻床, 以及带式/圆盘式砂光机. The wood shop also has a vacuum and sawdust collector.

The remainder of the machine shop has ample space for a work table, 刀库, and standard machine tools: metal cutting lathe, 弧焊机, 电焊机, 金属弯管机, 金属切割机, 砂轮机, 和drillpress. In both the machine shop’s open area and wood shop, a suspended track busway provides electrical power for a wide range of equipment. A full-time mechanical technician supervises the shop, gives safety training to students as required, and helps in manufacturing process. The machine shop also as an enclosed test cell, which contains a diesel/biodiesel compatible engine test rig.

The 物料储藏室 (CSI-281) is where plywood sheets, 棒材和圆料金属, and various other raw material are stored. 去找技术人员.

The 工程储藏室 (CSI 283) is where your design projects are stored when you aren't working on them. There are well-marked areas for each design class, please keep your projects in your designated areas. There is also a spray-painting booth in there, please see the mechanical technician if you wish to paint. There are a selection of tools available in this room for engineering design student use only. Please return them to their places after use.

There are public use lockers in the hallway as you enter. They are coin-operated, at 25c per use. You may keep your backpacks, laptops, 等. 如你所愿. You may also secure tools and other material that you have checked out in these lockers.
