Instructional Facilities

The Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Instructional Labs are housed in several locations in Upson and Rhodes Halls.

BELLIS LAB 239 Upson Hall
The Bellis Lab houses several of the labs used in M&AE 4272(427), Fundamental Laboratory in Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer. It contains the viscosity lab, the three wind tunnels used in FL3, the Airfoil Stall Experiment and the duct setups used for HT2 the forced convection lab.

EMERSON LAB 116 Rhodes Hall
The Emerson Lab houses the machining and mechanics of materials labs for M&AE. Encompassing over 4000 square feet, it contains a variety of mills, lathes and CNC equipment for student use.

Testing equipment includes: an Instron tensile tester, hardness testers, a metrology lab, heat treatment equipment, strain gage application and testing equipment and data acquisition computers. For more information about Emerson click on the picture.

MARTIN LAB 247 Upson Hall
The Martin Lab is the home of the wind tunnel used in FL2 of M&AE 4272(427), Fundamental Laboratory in Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer. It is also the location of Rick Schmidt's office and Professor Thomas Avedisian's Micro Gravity Droplet Burning Laboratory.

OHART LAB B64 Upson Hall
The Ohart Lab houses the equipment for M&AE 3260(326), Systems Dynamics, M&AE 4780(478), Feedback Control Systems and the Flame Experiment for M&AE 4272(427), Fundamental Laboratory in Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer.

SWANSON LABORATORY FOR ADVANCED ENGINEERING SIMULATION 163 Rhodes Hall
Computer lab to support the goal of integrating computer-based simulations into the M&AE curriculum.

TAYLOR DESIGN STUDIO 265 Upson Hall
Home of M&AE 2250(225), Mechanical Design and Synthesis, and used by various other courses, this lab has the look and feel of an open lab. It was designed to provide a place where design and innovation could be integrated with physical devices, the design process, electronic productivity, and team-based work environments.
