The College of Engineering currently houses valuable instruments such as a Precision Ion Polishing System, a MASS 5 NC 1540 IP 5-Axis CNC Router, a Focused Ion Beam and Electron Beam System, and a Small-angle X-ray Scattering, which are open for research and industry users. These facilities support the interdisciplinary research teams to meet their physical facility needs.
Except for the MASS 5 NC 1540 IP 5-Axis CNC Router located in Department of Engineering Science and Ocean Engineering building, other instruments are housed in the College of Engineering Building. Each instrument is overseen by a specific department and managed by a corresponding management team composed of members from various departments within the College. Depending on the functionality of the instrument, the composition of the team includes faculty from such as the Department of Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Engineering Science and Ocean Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Institute of Applied Mechanics, and Institute of Polymer Science and Engineering. The operational status of the instruments is regularly reported to the College's Laboratory of Valuable Instruments Management Committee following approval at the respective management team meetings.
