Machine Shop
Located in Room 4 Talbot Laboratory, the Aerospace Engineering Research Machine Shop serves faculty, staff, and students throughout the College of Engineering and across the UIUC campus. It is staffed by research laboratory shop supervisor Dustin Taylor Burns and instrument maker Greg Milner.
Student Projects
The rich extracurricular environment at UIUC is assisted by AE Machine Shop personnel.
Hybrid racing
A recent example of a student project is this student-designed planetary gearset for a hybrid racecar. All the pieces shown were fabricated in the AE Machine Shop using a combination of wire EDM and CNC milling.
The aluminum housing for the gearbox was machined using the 3-axis CNC mill in the AE Machine Shop.
