The Irvine Valley College Engineering Laboratory is an advanced learning space with a wide array of cutting-edge tools found in the fields of design, manufacturing, inspection, and quality control. Students enrolled in engineering and drafting classes gain direct access to materials and equipment which foster hands-on learning at all stages of the engineering design process. By housing the majority of our highly automated fabrication and testing systems within our new computer lab, we provide a dynamic educational environment which promotes the development of practical skills alongside theory-based engineering techniques.
