Center for Automotive Systems Engineering Education

The College of Engineering & Science helps students become ready for today’s engineering careers. Our programs teach students to think clearly, solve problems, and work across different fields.

The new William L. Koyzra Center for Automotive Systems Engineering Education gives students real, hands-on experience. It brings together different engineering areas and connects students with major partners such as Ford, General Motors, and DENSO. These partners help equip the Center with the latest tools for research and design.

The 5,200-square-foot Center supports teamwork on projects like vehicle design, robotics, and self-driving systems. Students at every level can work with faculty on research that matters.

Highlights include:

• Three overhead cranes, strong electrical power, and two garage doors.
• Several heavy, slotted plates for mounting equipment.
• An engine room with a working engine dynamometer.
• A control room for data collection and system-level instruction.
• A temperature-controlled systems room for large equipment.
• Collaborative spaces with writable walls, computers, and flat-panel monitors.

This lab, combined with co-op work experience, helps give students the skills and confidence to become future engineering leaders.
