ResearchAerospace Vehicle Design Laboratory Automation and Robotics Research Institute Micro and BioMEMS Manufacturing Biotransport Phenomena Laboratory Microscale Heat Transfer Laboratory Center for Composite Materials Electronic, MEMS & Nanoelectronic Systems Packaging Center Manufacturing Automation & Robotics Systems The departmental laboratories contain diverse modern equipment and instruments, permitting a varied experimental program. These include laboratories for automatic controls and systems engineering, fluid power and fluids, automotive engineering, computer-aided design and manufacturing, dynamics and vibration, materials science, composite materials, smart structures, robotics, thermal sciences, solar energy, computational and experimental fluid dynamics, turbulence, aerodynamics, aerothermodynamics, propulsion, flight dynamics, guidance, navigation, and control. Among the facilities are wind tunnels (Mach number range: 0-16), water tunnels, an aerodynamics heating facility, a pulsed detonation test facility, mechanical testing machines, electron microscopes, vacuum chambers, high-temperature furnaces, an autoclave, a complete DSC system, multichannel data acquisition systems, 3-D anemometers, laser-Doppler velocimeters, an interferometer, a wave analyzer, a constant-temperature bath, fluid devices, CNC machines, and a fully instrumented solar energy research facility that includes a 1,600-square-foot solar house. The University computing center, Academic Computer Services, operates a number of workstations, as well as campus-wide Windows NT networks. The department has the Computer Aided Design Laboratory that includes Pentium PCs, Sun SPARC stations, NeXTs, and Linux machines, all networked via Windows NT and TCP/IP and used exclusively by undergraduate and graduate students in the department. The University computing center, Academic Computer Services, also operates a number of digital computers, including a Convex C220, a VAX 4000, DEC 5000s, an IBM 4381 and numerous Sun workstations as well as campus-wide Novell PC networks. In addition, the Center for High Performance Computing, operated by the University of Texas System, has a CRAY Y-MP, a Convex C220, and others that are accessible from any workstation on the campus. |
