An Engineering Laboratory was established in 2001, a
first for Albany State
University, from a multi-year grant from U.S. Department of Education's Minority
Science and Engineering Improvement Program. A number of contemporary computer controlled manufacturing and testing
equipment was acquired from that initial funding. Also obtained was a set of programmable robots from a grant from
Georgia Space Grant Consortium.
Subsequently, a metallurgical microscope, heat treatment oven,
grinding/polishing machine, couple of 3D Scanner and reverse engineering software added.

-
3 D Scanners
and RapidWorks reverse engineering software
The availability of the above equipment for class room demonstration and
experimentation as well as conducting students' research project has placed
Albany State University's engineering program as a leader among the
comparable liberal arts universities in the state of Georgia.
