Student have access to powerful work stations and requisite software.
The physical facility includes several high-end workstations and peripheral equipment. The laboratories also develop and maintain experimental facilities in these areas for undergraduate and graduate laboratory instruction. Experimental and theoretical research is carried out on the development and application of electric propulsion systems, including electrothermal propulsion systems, electromagnetic propulsion systems, and electrostatic propulsion systems. The centerpiece of the laboratory is a large vacuum chamber that is 9m long and 6m in diameter and is the largest vacuum facility of its kind at any university in the nation. A full range of measurement, instrumentation and data acquisition equipment supports the facility.
