Kent State University - Case Study – TecQuipment
Monday, December 25, 2023
Kent State University, a trailblazer in aerospace engineering education, recently unveiled its state-of-the-art Aeronautics and Engineering building. Dr. Ali Abdul-Aziz, a distinguished professional with 35 years of expertise as a senior research scientist at NASA, joined the university in 2016. His mission: to spearhead a robust aerospace engineering and thermal fluid sciences program. Our recent conversation with Dr. Aziz provided invaluable insights into his use of various TecQuipment products in teaching.
What led to TecQuipment becoming Kent State University's chosen supplier?
In the pursuit of academic excellence, Dr. Aziz thoroughly explored options for thermal fluid science equipment. Impressed by the success of a colleague's acquisition and utilization of the Subsonic Wind Tunnel (AF1300), he connected with Cary from Buckeye, our dedicated representative in Ohio.
Following a visit to Jackson College, Michigan, USA, where he witnessed the demonstrated functionality and quality of the purchased equipment in thermofluids and solid mechanic labs, Dr. Aziz made the decision to integrate TecQuipment's teaching tools into Kent State University's cutting-edge curriculum.
An in-depth look into the acquired equipment
Kent State's aerospace engineering program, in its nascent stage, aims to establish itself as a leader in the field. Dr. Aziz, specializing in thermal analysis, played a pivotal role in establishing a thermo fluids lab catering to both undergraduate and postgraduate students. The undergraduate course focuses on imparting fundamental principles in thermo sciences: fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer.
