Iron Range Engineering 23
October, 2012
The Minnesota State
University, Mankato department of integrated engineering, Iron Range
Engineering at Mesabi Range campus is progressing on track. The sub structure is in place and the walls
are going up. The expansion is scheduled
to be completed before spring semester. Many
of the students and faculty are patiently awaiting the day to move in to new
project rooms and make use of the expanded work areas. It is great to see things coming together,
not just the building but the entire concept of Iron Range Engineering’s
partnership with industry to “grow” engineers from the region with students who
want to continue to live here and work for local industries.
Some of the equipment has started to show up and the rest is scheduled for delivery when the space is available. A few equipment items already in use: Hurricane Laser cutter, drill press, scroll saw, and sander. There are a couple items that are still boxed up mig welder, and welding safety equipment. We have some great new spaces too. Electronic circuits lab is up and running with its state of the art equipment put to use daily. One other active space has already had an impact on the students, the new physical fitness room, treadmill, elliptical, plus control and free weights help to build strong bodies along with strong minds. We look forward to the new facility and the supporters who are sure to come help open the doors to let us learn how to learn at Minnesota State University, Iron Range. See you there.
