Our Spaces

Reception, Virtual Reality, Conference Room & Workshop

The engineers emerging from universities today are expected to be critical thinkers, team participants, leaders and problem solvers. Dedicating Collaboration Space in the makerspace fosters these important workplace skills, giving ODU engineers an edge.

Electronics

Modern equipment for key research that can transform lives—such as an ongoing ODU engineering project investigating muscle exercise metabolism in diabetes.

  • WE1010NA Soldering Station x2
  • LEICA M165 C w/ LEICA IC90 E x1
  • BK Precision 1653A AC Power Supply x2
  • Agilent 34460A 6 1/2 Digit Multimeter x1
  • BK Precision 1696 Switching Mode DC Regulated Power Supply x2
  • Agilent E3646A Dual Output DC Power Supply x1
  • Agilent U8001A Single Output DC Power Supply x1
  • Agilent 33210A 10 MHz Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator x1
  • Tektronix TBS1064 Four Channel Digital Storage Oscilloscope x1

3D Printing, Audio & Video Production

As more enterprises use 3D printing to make their products, additional opportunities are created in the workforce. Companies in manufacturing, aerospace, healthcare and other industries need graduates who understand the technology and are experts in 3D design.

  • 3 Ultimaker 3
  • Ultimaker S3
  • 1 Ultimaker S5
  • 1 RAISE3D Pro 2
  • Creality 3v Ender 3
  • Phrozen Shuffle XL
  • Elegoo Mars with wash and cure station
  • 1 Support Cleaning Apparatus

Metal, Woods & Composites, Welding & Finishing

Powerful and versatile, a laser cutter will allow motorsports team members, for example, to develop their own braking systems from design to installation on site rather than having to send out design and make adjustments post production.
