ENGINEERING BUILDING

Upon entering, you can see a display of Baja cars (20) designed and raced by students in the Society of Automotive Engineers. These off-road vehicles present an exciting engineering challenge for the students who compete annually against other teams from across the state.

Also inside are students in engineering and computer science classes as well as the Center for Photonics Technology, which conducts research in fiber optics. Academic offices for Mechanical Engineering and Chemical/Biochemical Engineering are also located here.

You may see students launching water balloons from catapults they designed with their engineering professors or hard at work studying in the atrium.
