A complete wood working/composite material shop is available for the construction and fabrication of models, instrumentation, specialized experimental and testing equipment, and prototyping.
The model shop has a table saw, a large disc sander, and joiner as well as a variety of hand tools for wood working and composites. The shop has large work surfaces for setting up models and installing instruments.
Most of the damage from Hurricane Sandy is expected to come from the storm surge, explains Marc Perlin, a professor of ocean engineering at the University of Michigan. To understand what a storm surge is, imagine blowing air onto a plate of water. As the air crossed the surface, it would push the water and pile it up on the far end.
The University of Michigan is a charter member of The Naval Engineering Education Center (NEEC). NEEC is a joint educational initiative between the United States Navy, and a consortium of 15 educational institutions in the United States. It's mission is to engage and develop the next generation of civilian engineers through project-based education, collaboration, and curriculum experience leading to civilian career opportunities with the U.S. Navy.
