engineering lab

Technical project space

An engineering lab is a facility equipped for hands-on technical work—designing, building, testing, and analyzing systems or materials.

Universities maintain engineering labs where students apply theoretical knowledge: We spent the afternoon in the engineering lab running stress tests on the bridge model.

Professional labs support research and development in fields from aerospace to biomedical engineering.
