Facilities & Technology
Our students and faculty are supported by some of the most advanced technology and best equipped learning facilities in the country.
In the Eugene W. Kettering building, we have 88 instructional and research laboratories where we blend hands-on learning and practical experience with the best in engineering scholarship. This is an approach based in the rich tradition of our Catholic, Marianist community, and, in our mission to educate the whole professional, we've found great success. Our labs have helped us become the number one Catholic university in conducting nonmedical research.
If 88 labs aren't enough, we've developed close partnerships with the University of Dayton Research Institute and Wright Patterson Air Force Base. Our students routinely have the opportunity to conduct research and experiments in these world-class facilities.
Our facilities focus on providing the best environments for success. Ten of our primary areas of focus include the following:
- advanced manufacturing techniques and systems
- combustion and fuels
- computational design and optimization
- electro-optical devices and systems
- energy systems
- environmental systems
- nanophotonics
- phase change heat transfer and interfacial phenomena
- processing and properties of materials
- signal and image processing
