UVM's completed STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) complex made its campus debut in 2019 as a state-of-the-art facility housing laboratories, classrooms, and research facilities to best prepare our students with hands-on opportunities for learning and research. As a CEMS student, most of your classes will take place here, in some of the most advanced learning spaces in the state, helping you develop your academic interests and preparing you for a promising career.
Features
The STEM complex at UVM sits at the center of campus and includes:
- Three interconnected buildings housing the engineering, mathematics and statistics, physics, and computer science departments.
- Twenty state-of-the-art teaching labs
- Seven media-rich classrooms that foster team-based learning and engaging, problem-based teaching
- Faculty labs that promote innovation and collaboration
- Comfortable meeting spaces for student and faculty interaction
Some of our State-of-the-Art Labs
Fabrication Lab (FABLAB)
An incubator for ideas and a place to engage people’s imaginations, the UVM FabLab makes rapid-prototyping tools available to UVM students and faculty. The lab provides the opportunity for interaction in developing and testing innovative products and designs. We encourage projects that support research, innovation, and creativity, and student work that is supported by coursework and professors. Located in Votey 242, the FabLab houses an expanding collection of the latest rapid-prototyping tools that are readily available to the CEMS community.
Prototype Lab
Located in Votey 125, the Prototype Lab (aka The Machine Shop) is a resource for students and faculty needing assistance with prototyping, specifically metals machining. The shop houses two HURCO CNC's, OMAX Waterjet, mills, lathes, horizontal and vertical band saws, and a welding area. The shop is used by ME081 Mechanical Engineering Shop Experience students and is a resource for student projects and research labs.
Device Characterization Teaching Lab
The groundbreaking Device Characterization Teaching Lab was created through a unique and mutually advantageous collaboration between the University's College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences (CEMS) and GlobalFoundries. The new lab features a suite of scientific testing and analysis equipment donated by GF and heralds an essential phase of the ongoing initiative to prepare students to work in the rapidly expanding field of semiconductors.
