    26. Operations Research Laboratory 316 Transportation Building Directors: Xin Chen and Uday Shanbhag Operations research is a mathematically-inclined discipline with the goal of making better decisions. Specifically, OR researchers and practitioners draw from the areas of optimization, probability and simulation to model, analyze and control complex systems. OR techniques are applied to a whole host of problems ranging from managing inventories under uncertainty to better scheduling of airline crews.  The Operations Research Laboratory is a new facility located in room 316 of the Transportation Building at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The lab shall consist of 20 high-end  PCs, 10 Linux-based workstations and an 8-CPU server. In addition, there will be a projection facility to allow for audio-visual instruction of undergraduate and graduate-level courses in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research.

    27. Verizon Telecommunications Laboratory 303 Transportation Building Director: Professor R.S. Sreenivas This laboratory, begun with a generous grant from the GTE foundation, is being designed to complement existing and developing courses in Network Design and Network Management at the University of Illinois. The lab is intended primarily for undergraduate work and will stress the fundamentals of multimedia (voice, video and data) networking. A hands-on environment, where students can learn about telecommunications by directly using the technology, is intended to better prepare our students for careers in this fast growing field. The primary concepts taught will be network design and management, using performance evaluation tools and equipment.

    28. Mechatronics Laboratory 302 Transportation Building Director: Daniel Block, R.S. Sreenivas and Mark W. Spong Mechatronics is the synergistic integration of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronics, computer science, and control theory of the design of intelligent systems. Mechatronic systems are used in automotive systems, aerospace systems, consumer electronics, and robotics. Established in 1995 through a grant from John Deere Corporation to support project-based education in mechatronics and real-time embedded systems. The Mechatronics Laboratory has eight fully equipped workbenches for design, construction, and analysis of mechatronic systems. The lab supports GE 423/MfgE 430 Introduction to Mechatronics

    29. Robotics and Automation Laboratory 303 Transportation Building Directors: Mark W. Spong and Seth Hutchinson The Robotics and Automation Laboratory was established in 1987 to support the College of Engineering Manufacturing Engineering Program. Currently the laboratory is equipped with six robotic arms, computer workstations, controllers, teach pendants, and integrated computer vision systems, together with conveyors, turntables, and additional sensors enabling students to emulate factory automation workcells. The lab supports the following courses: GE 421/ECE 470 Introduction to Robotics GE 422/ECE 489 Robot Dynamics and Control GE 522/ECE 589 Robot Control Theory

    30. Product Dissection Laboratory 201 Transportation Building Director: James Leake The College of Engineering has agreed to fund the creation of a Product Dissection Laboratory within the Department of Industrial & Enterprise Systems Engineering. This laboratory will be used in support of a newly proposed reverse engineering design project within GE 101, Engineering Graphics and Design. After selecting a suitable commercial product, student teams will then tear down and reverse engineer the product or device. Laboratory equipment will include a Stratasys Dimension BST 3D Printer, a Microscribe 3D digitizer, HighRES software that permits direct entry of digitized input into Autodesk Inventor parametric modeling software, computer workstations for five design teams, as well as digital cameras, electronic calipers, tool sets and hold down devices.
