Vision - A facility for studies in the practical application of engineering technology to electrical and mechanical power generation.  Operational diesel, gas turbine, and steam engines fully instrumented to support the performance of heat balance and efficiency calculations.

The Power Laboratory also houses static displays of power generating equipment and could serve as an industry showcase for alternative energy solutions.  The facility has been developed through the generous support of numerous alumni and industrial partners.
