The Engineering Machine Shop (EMS) is a modern version of the classic machine shop that includes computer-literate staff, machines, and methods alongside traditional manufacturing equipment and procedures. EMS provides concept development, project design, and protyping services for University of Iowa students, faculty, researchers, and staff. The EMS staff strengths are computer-aided design and manufacturing skills that support the college teaching and research missions, as well as providing services for administrative and research users across campus.
