THE WARE LAB, first of its kind facility
At Virginia Tech, engineering students can be involved in projects from the beginning of their academic careers.
As freshmen, students are welcomed and encouraged to become involved with projects managed by students in the College and throughout the University. These projects involve a variety of facets of engineering. Engineering students work together in teams, which are often multidisciplinary, under the direction of engineering faculty and graduate students.
The learning that occurs while students work on these projects transcends anything that could be expected in a traditional classroom. Frequently the classroom for student projects is a computer lab, robotics lab, a machine shop, or a factory of one of the sponsoring industries.
