Engineering Design Center

The Engineering Design Center is a new workspace for 3D printing, circuit building, soldering, wood/metal fabrication, and much more. We are open to all UA students who want to learn new engineering skills, make use of our equipment or just need a comfortable place to work.

Please feel free to drop by Monday-Friday from 1:00 – 4:00 pm and a technician will show you around the center.

Mirror Lab Tours

At The University of Arizona's Richard F. Caris Mirror Laboratory, a team of scientists and engineers are making giant, lightweight mirrors of unprecedented power for a new generation of optical telescopes. These mirrors represent a radical departure from the conventional solid-glass mirrors used in the past. They have a honeycomb structure on the inside; made out of Ohara E6-type borosilicate glass that is melted, molded and spun cast into the shape of a paraboloid in a custom-designed rotating oven. Honeycomb mirrors offer the advantages of their solid counterparts - rigidity and stability - but they can be significantly larger, and dramatically lighter.
