General Engineering Tours

We are happy to offer this amenity and share our Learn by Doing philosophy and ask that you remember that this is an active learning environment. To manage expectations please note that our labs are used as classrooms seven days a week. For this reason, tour times and dates are not flexible. The GET is offered once a month and dates and times can be found on our GET event website.

All labs shown on tours are preselected by the College of Engineering. Please note that certain labs may not be seen. Due to our Learn by Doing environment and our goal of small class sizes, lab capacities are small. To ensure safety participants are required to wear closed toed shoes and abide by fire code regulations which may mean staggering departure times for large groups to avoid exceeding the capacity of about 20 individuals maximum.

Our labs have various machines, pieces of equipment, and on-going student projects. In order to ensure everyone's safety during the GET no one under the age of 12 will be allowed to participate in a tour.

Otherwise, it is important to read all parking lot posted signs to ensure that it is a student/guest friendly lot. Do not park in a faculty/staff lot, permits are not valid for faculty staff lots and may result in a citation.
