Upgrades to Teaching and Learning Spaces

To attract top students, the University of Idaho College of Engineering must compete with universities across the country for the best and brightest students.

Attracting these students requires state-of-the-art labs, classrooms and learning spaces for hands-on learning.

Choose your Future Project

Senior Design Suite

Gifts to the Capstone Floor - Mechanical Engineering fund will be used to transform the Senior Design Suite. The new suite will provide students an enhanced opportunity to gain hands-on experiential learning with relevant techniques, contributing to the U of I achievement of "excellence in teaching”.
