Where Innovation Takes Flight!
The College of Engineering and Applied Sciences presents the MACH 1 Innovation Hub,
a centralized department dedicated to delivering first-class innovation, hands-on
learning, and manufacturing support for students, faculty, staff, and industry partners.
MACH 1 brings ideas from concept to reality through a connected ecosystem of modern
makerspaces and machine shops, supporting everything from early exploration to advanced
fabrication.
Within MACH 1 are multiple specialized facilities designed to meet users at every
stage of the design and manufacturing process.
What Facilities Are Within MACH 1?
The Space [Engineering 105] serves as an accessible, hands-on innovation hub for students, offering 3D printing, hand tools, basic electronics for rapid prototyping and other skill development.
The Space 2.0 [Engineering 008] expands these capabilities with advanced equipment such as CNC machining, large-format 3D printing, and laser cutting, operating as a service-based facility for precision work.
The Research and Development Shop [Engineering 014] functions as a full manufacturing facility with CNC and manual machining, lathes, and waterjet capabilities.
The Fabrication Shop [Engineering 006]supports sheet metal work, welding, and plasma cutting for larger-scale builds.
The Student Shop [Engineering 009] home to MEC 225: Fundamentals of Machining Practices, where trained students gain hands-on experience and manufacture components for projects including senior design.
The Storage [Engineering 004] is a storage dedicated to supporting and housing large scale projects and materials needed to help them succeed. The storage removes the limitations that most students living on campus or commutting face which is creating something fits into what they were able to self-store.
