In addition to conducting trend-setting research, the college provides testing for companies on a fee-for-service basis. Sophisticated instrumentation is available for analysis, processing, fabrication, and characterization of materials. Testing includes surface and interfacial analysis, experimental mechanics, and composites fabrication and characterization, including chemical, thermal, and physical properties of materials. In addition, seating and modeling, environmental analysis, and turbulent shear flows testing are available in the college.

For more details on testing agreements, see the testing accounts page. Final decisions on testing contract approval lie with the associate dean for research and graduate studies.
