Composite Manufacturing And Test Facility

The Composite Manufacturing and Test Facility offers major laboratory equipment for the following applications: Manufacturing of polymer matrix composites, Ceramic composite materials fabrication, Room and high temperature mechanical testing, Acoustic emission analyzer, Low velocity impact testing, Modal testing, Laser-based shearography, and Friction and wear testing.

Embedded Systems and Networking Laboratory

The Embedded Systems and Networking Laboratory is a research center ran by Dr. Jagannathan Sarangapani. The laboratory focuses on three areas of study; Wireless and Sensor Networks and Control Issues, Networked control systems, and Neural Network Control.

Innovative Additive Manufacturing Laboratory

The Innovative Smart & Additive Manufacturing (ISAM) Laboratory conducts research to develop novel smart manufacturing technologies and additive manufacturing processes, and also on the optimization and innovative applications of these and other advanced manufacturing technologies.

Intelligent Microsystem Laboratory

The mission of the Intelligent Microsystem Laboratory (IML) is to accomplish functional integration (on-chip intelligence) and structural integration (miniaturization) of advanced microsystems. Some of our current focuses include: metabolites sensing (on-chip self-calibration) and plant/crop physiology (root growth environment). The overarching goals of this exploration are to contribute to global health issues and to secure our future sustainability.

Laser Aided Manufacturing Process Laboratory

The Laser-Aided Manufacturing Processes (LAMP) Laboratory is a world-class powder-feed additive manufacturing (AM) laboratory. The Lab has the capabilities of AM process modeling, AM process development, hybrid AM process planning, AM process monitoring and control, and AM part characterization.

Laser-Based Manufacturing Laboratory

At the Laser-Based Manufacturing Laboratory, the focus is to conduct basic and applied research in laser welding, cutting, drilling, cladding, surface treating, marking, micromachining, and rapid prototyping via direct metal deposition.

Natural Computational Laboratory

Since its founding in 2002, the NC-LAB has concentrated on Evolutionary Computing (EC), focusing on two main areas, namely (1) the development of novel types of Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs), and (2) the application of EAs to real-world problems. The bulk of the NC-LAB funding has come from Sandia National Laboratories and Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Sensor Networks and Dependable Computing

The Sensor Networks and Dependable Computing focuses on three research areas; Modeling and Analysis of Cyber-Physical Critical Infrastructures, Pervasive Computing, and Assurance and Development of Embedded Systems.

SMART Engineering

SMART Engineering has the following objectives: To construct, instrument, and monitor a smart bridge on the Missouri S&T campus as a field experience for students and as a technological demonstration, To create a World Wide Web site for the Internet which features tutorials for the component technologies, multimedia demonstrations from the course, virtual experiments from the teaching laboratory, updated results from the bridge demonstration, and links to other Internet sites related to smart advanced structures.

Structural Health Monitoring Laboratory

This laboratory supports research in the areas of damage detection and nondestructive testing in various engineering materials and structures. It has extensive facilities to cover all areas of this research and comprise of the following equipment: Acoustic Emission system, Ultrasonic C-Scan system, Fiber Optics system, Laser Shearography, Scanning Laser Vibrometer, Infrared Thermography, and Eddy current system.

Wireless to Cloud Computing Laboratory
