Shimadzu Scientific Instruments and Oklahoma State University partnered to help establish The College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology’s Mechanical and Physical Properties Testing Lab. The new lab is part of the ExxonMobil Testing Laboratory in the new ENDEAVOR facility on the campus of OSU in Stillwater, OK.
 
To support OSU in the establishment of ENDEAVOR, SSI awarded a grant as part of the Shimadzu Partnership for Academics, Research and Quality of Life (SPARQ) program. Equipped with a collection of Shimadzu’s materials testing instruments, this lab space will allow students to characterize materials by utilizing a vast array of scientific techniques.
 
The Shimadzu suite of instruments includes an Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer and six fully loaded, high-capacity Universal Test Machines offering testing capabilities that can be found only on the OSU campus.
 
ENDEAVOR is a newly constructed 72,000-square-foot facility encompassing three floors of laboratories and maker spaces focused on creating multidisciplinary, collaboration-based learning environments that prepare students for the real-world workforce.
 
“We all learn more and retain longer when we actively learn. Shimadzu instruments are ideally suited for engineering students to use because operations are straightforward, and the equipment is durable,” said Brad Rowland, coordinator of ENDEAVOR and Clinical Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering. “Students will not only be learning basic principles of materials but also the nuances of materials testing through hands-on application.”
 
“The state-of-the-art ENDEAVOR facility provides exceptional resources for teaching and training the next generation of engineers,” added Scott Kuzdzal, Ph.D., vice president of marketing at SSI.
