Welcome to the ISE Processes Lab<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Here, in the processes laboratory, you\u2019ll use the latest tools in forming, molding, casting, removing, and joining materials.
Starting your sophomore year, you\u2019ll begin hands-on learning that continues throughout your entire time at ISE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, you\u2019ll learn the basics in a safe, guided environment. Then, you\u2019ll apply those lessons to real-world lab projects.
Along the way, you\u2019ll gain skills that help you succeed in advanced courses and future research work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, a full-time machinist<\/a> and experienced graduate students are here to guide and support you.
Because of their help, you can safely explore new techniques and improve your technical confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lab also serves as the hub for manufacturing-based classes, projects and research activities.
It even includes a computer workstation and multimedia tools to support meetings and presentations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More importantly, the lab helps you think like an engineer.
You won\u2019t just follow steps\u2014you\u2019ll solve problems, build solutions and learn from each attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you progress, you\u2019ll work closely with classmates, faculty and research teams.
Together, you\u2019ll turn creative ideas into working models and useful results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll also learn how to manage tools, plan workflows and meet deadlines. These skills matter in both labs and careers.
In time, you\u2019ll build confidence, improve communication and learn how to lead project teams with purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the time you graduate, you\u2019ll leave with real-world experience that employers look for with the processes laboratory.
Before you begin, review the safety checklist<\/a> that has been linked below and follow all guidelines to protect yourself and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
