Conduct research in Sweeney Hall laboratories.

The instructional laboratories and additional faculty offices and research laboratories are located at the west end of Sweeney Hall. Take a look at the equipment in the laboratory area — you will probably see some equipment familiar to you, and you can find out about the unfamiliar items by asking any faculty member. You are invited to stop in at any of the research labs and ask about the research work in progress. Sweeney also contains a unit operations laboratory for undergraduates, where students conduct experiments in material and energy balances, momentum and energy transport operations, and thermodynamics.
