Students collaborate and create in The Cube, a group of six accessible engineering labs

By Associated Engineering Press

In early May of this year, junior aerospace engineering and mechanics major Zack Andrews set out in search of a 3D printer for one of his models.

He ran into Doug Cannon, manager of “The Cube,” a group of six accessible labs students can use as a resource within the College of Engineering. One look at their work, and Andrews has spent over 250 hours volunteering from the inside.

In 1837, The University of Alabama became one of the first five universities in the nation to offer engineering classes. Today, UA’s College of Engineering has more than 5,200 students and more than 170 faculty. In recent years, students in the College have been named USA Today All-USA College Academic Team members, Goldwater, Hollings, Portz, Boren, Mitchell and Truman scholars.
