Accessing the Student Fabrication Lab

All Fabrication Center users must complete the Orientation and Safety Training on eLC prior to gaining access to the facility. Every engineering student has “Engineering Workshop Safety” as a course in their eLC. To complete training, students will complete four modules and take the Orientation and Safety Training Comprehension Quiz.

Once students have completed training, they will be able to schedule trainings and reserve time on equipment through SAGE. Students can go to their “My Success Network” and find Fabrication Lab team members under their “Connections.” General work appointments can be made under “Roger Hilten,” the Lab Director.

Requests for Machine Shop support and access can be made by sending a message to engr-labsupport@uga.edu. George Haynie, the College’s Machine Shop Manager, will coordinate with students regarding availability of equipment and support.

No access to the Fabrication facilities, including the Fabrication Lab and Machine Shop, is available without an appointment.

In addition to the onsite resources of the Fabrication Center, the College offers many items that are available for checkout on a limited basis (2-week intervals) as part of the College’s Technology Lending Program. Additionally, the College’s Machine Shop offers a wide variety of tools.

The College of Engineering offers the following tools and equipment for student use in rooms 1506 and 1520 Driftmier, the Digital Fabrication Shop and the Design Workspace, respectively.
