工程实验室设施
优质学习是多维的. 滔滔不绝地读课本上的图表和数字, 或者听教授解释理论概念, 还不够开发一个工作吗, 对复杂现实的深刻理解. 让那些现实活过来, 它们必须被遵守, 在自然环境中被戏弄和测试. 工程师通常以渴望实验和修补而闻名. 在沃拉沃拉大学工程学院, this urge to explore is channeled into deep learning: curiosity has space to develop in our first-rate laboratories. All students—from freshman to seniors—work in engineering laboratories to gain hands-on experience that reinforces their classroom education, 从机器装配到机器人, 流体力学与结构. Take a tour of our facilities below to get an idea of the spaces you would get to enjoy as a 沃拉沃拉大学 engineering student.
