Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) started construction on a new 90,000-square-foot, three-story Applied Engineering Building (AEB) that will serve as home for the Engineering Technology and Mechatronics Engineering programs, as well as provide space for future engineering programs. This expansion addresses the growing demand for graduates in the dynamic, expanding industry.
The AEB is designed to facilitate collaborative, hands-on learning, featuring flexible learning and laboratory spaces, spacious gathering areas, lobby areas showcasing technology displays and student projects and lecture space for faculty instruction, guest speakers, special events, and student-led organizations. The new building will also house research laboratory spaces and foster research collaborations that explore emerging technologies, experiential and integrative learning applied to real-world problems and applied engineering solutions.
