Shaping State-Of-The-Art Students: Blattner Robotics and Automation Lab
Featuring multiple industry-standard robots, the Blattner Robotics Lab provides practical hands-on experience and research opportunities for St. Thomas students in multiple disciplines, preparing them for real-world applications. Environmental Engineering at Work in the Water Lab The Water Lab offers students the opportunity to develop critical skills in water quality analysis and environmental resource management. It’s an essential space for future engineers committed to solving global water issues. Five-Axis Machining Center The fabrication capabilities of the School of Engineering shops have been increased through the addition of a HAAS UMC 500-SS five-axis CNC machining center funded through the START Center and housed in the Center for Advanced Manufacturing. This will allow fast machining of complex parts such as turbine blades, medical devices and airfoils. Precision multi-axis machining will support research projects, senior design projects, Tommie Motor Sports, and prototyping collaborations with industrial partners.
3D Data Visualization Studio The Data Visualization studio features a 32-foot curved 3D display wall funded through an equipment grant from the Army Research Lab. The wall is a powerful resource that enables faculty, students and partners to visualize complex data, uncover patterns and connections, and present findings through interactive, immersive experiences. It also showcases creative projects that bring Ming Dynasty art to life, explore jet engines and offer virtual tours of landmarks.
