Teaching Laboratories
Our teaching laboratories are a very hands-on way to instruct students in the whole spectrum of mechanical engineering. They enhance students understanding of presented classroom material throughout the curriculum.
- Applied Computation Laboratory
- The Applied Computation Laboratory provides an environment in which computation methods are applied to engineering problems.
- AVS Laboratory
- The Autonomous Vehicle Systems (or AVS) Lab at Kansas State University is a research laboratory that focuses on development and implementation of control systems on vehicles including a hobby-grade R/C truck and small, fixed-wing aircraft. The AVS lab receives funding through the National Science Foundation (NSF) as well as NASA.
- Composite Materials Laboratory
- The Composites Lab is equipped to support teaching and research related efforts involved with the design, basic fabrication and analysis of composite materials.
- Dynamic Systems & Controls Laboratory
- Heat Transfer Lab
- The Research Laboratory is primarily focused on Thermal Science Technologies. In addition research is being done on Textile Drying Cycles, Surface Tension Elements, & Air-Velocity Measurements.
- Instrumentation and Measurements Laboratory
- The lab is used for teaching ME-535, Mechanical Engineering Laboratory I. The Course concentrates on computer based data acquisition, instrumentation, and transducers for mechanical measurements.
- Internal Combustion Engines Laboratory
- Research involving internal combustion engines, alternative fules, and emissions.
- Mechanical Testing and Evaluation Laboratory (MTEL)
- The Mechanical Testing and Evaluation Laboratory (MTEL) was developed in 1996 with the mission of providing broad-based state-of-the-art experimental support in the area of deformation, stress, strain, and failure analysis of traditional and advanced engineering materials, components and structures.
- Nonlinear Controls
- Radiation Detection Instructional Laboratory
- Radiation Measurement Applications Laboratory
- Refrigeration Laboratory
- The focus of the refrigeration lab at Kansas State University is to aid the refrigeration and air-conditioning industry in the transition from CFC-11, CFC-12 and HCFC-22 to new, environmentally acceptable refrigerants.
- Smart Autonomous Systems and Control (SASC)
- Measurements3
