The University of Washington (UWT) was awarded a $2,500,000 Project Grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the Congressionally-Identified Projects program (CFDA 11.617) to purchase approximately 70 pieces of equipment for new mechanical and civil engineering laboratory spaces in Milgard Hall. The equipment will support various specialized laboratories, including environmental engineering, biomedical engineering, energy systems, mechanical engineering fabrication, hydrology and fluid dynamics, mechanical engineering automation and robotics, soil mechanics, and concrete testing. This equipment will allow UWT to develop state-of-the-art engineering laboratories to support their newly established Bachelor of Science Mechanical Engineering and Bachelor of Science Civil Engineering programs. The project aims to provide strong laboratory experiences for students, support ABET accreditation efforts, and enable robust research opportunities for low-income and underserved student groups. The award period is from September 1, 2024, to January 31, 2026.
