Virginia Tech is widely recognized as one of the top engineering schools in the nation, producing engineers that not only understand the theory but have hands-on engineering experience. The Ware Lab is the focal point for hands-on projects in the College of Engineering and is the best place on campus to view many projects developed by our undergraduate students. From autonomous underwater vehicles to radio controlled aircraft, engineering students, at all levels, are encouraged to become part of a design team that expands their view of what an engineer can accomplish before and after graduation. Companies frequently visit the lab and meet with students to discuss potential opportunities for internship, co-op or full time employment. The “hands-on, minds-on” philosophy of the Ware Lab promotes real-life experience with engineering concepts before students step out into the working world. We invite you to visit the Ware Lab to understand why students, faculty and industries are passionate about the innovations happening right here, in the Ware Lab.
Please enjoy the Ware Lab Video which gives an in depth look at student involvement in each project team.
ALL students and faculty using the Ware Lab are required to read the current policy manual:
