A public university that features a top-notch engineering program, WSU’s curriculum encompasses the disciplines of industrial, systems, and mechanical engineering. In 2017, WSU opened its $32 million Experiential Engineering Building, which was the first phase in the university's plan to establish an “Innovation Campus.” The experiential educational environment allows students to be involved in real-life engineering projects and provides a space for faculty members and students to engage in interdisciplinary learning.
The design of the 143,000-square-foot facility was the result of collaboration among all of WSU’s engineering departments and programs. In addition to a variety of labs for prototyping, design, testing, and manufacturing, the building is equipped with cutting-edge engineering technology and support systems, including a 3-D print center, business incubator and accelerator spaces, and a technology transfer office for patenting guidance.
