WELCOME

TO THE

CECS ENGINEERING SHOP

The engineering shop is available to faculty, staff and students to support instructional, research, and senior design projects as well as generally supporting the physical operational needs of the college.

A Technical Shop Work Request form is available that must be filled out for job tracking purposes.  This form is to be used for all technical, instructional, and operational support requests.  This form is available in each of the department offices as well as the technical shop facilities (rooms JD1615, JD1572, JD2207).  Students must have their professors’ approval signature before the request will be considered.
