Wilson Student Team Center

One of the best ways for the College of Engineering Students to gain critical hands on design experience, as well as important team, organizational, and management skills, is through engineering design/build competitions. Student team projects provide practical design fabrication experience that complements classroom instruction in addition to real-life lessons in cooperation.

The 10,000-square-foot Wilson Student Team center, located behind the Francios-Xavier Bagnoud Building and adjacent to Wave Field, provides the much needed space to make this student projects come to fruition. A bequest from Walter E. Wilson to the College, along with contributions from numerous sponsors and donors provided the financial support for this foundation. The result is a 24-hour student facility that houses space for design, assembly, machining, electronics, composite lay-up, and painting. Design rooms, a lecture room, offices, and a student lounge round out the center. In all, the Walter E. Wilson Student Team Project Center represents the best in a team learning environment.
