Students in the Fowler School of Engineering get hands-on experience with state-of-the-art engineering tools from the first day they arrive on campus. Whether designing and fabricating components with additive manufacturing, or simulating failure cases with code, our students have the software and hardware they need at their fingertips.
Examples of these resources include:
- Industry-standard software tools such as Cadence, Synopsys, Mentor Graphics, PSPICE, SolidWorks, Unity, Unreal, Git, Docker, Jenkins, Kubernetes, and more.
- High-performance computing clusters with thousands of cores, terabytes of memory, and GPUs for hardware acceleration.
- A NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access) server with 1.5 TB of RAM.
- Cloud resources through Microsoft Azure Dev Tools for Teaching and Amazon AWS Educate
- Makerspace filled with equipment for 3D scanning and printing, CNC fabrication, laser cutting, vacuum forming, breadboarding, and robotics.
- Imaging tools including:
