This was in the shop in Merryfield (next to Civil engr fromally Appearson Hall) on the NE corner of campus along Monroe st. It may have been the Industrial engr shop before my time, but had been taken over by Electrical engr in the early 90s, then put under the College of Engineering umbrella when I took over in 2014. Did Chuck Midol or Chuck Svensen run the IND shop in your time?
I started my shop life in Chem in Gilbert basement, working for John Archiblab's successor. Did a bit of work for the late Ken Hedberg and his crazy high voltage x-ray diffraction setup. Absolutely loved it there, but had to leave to finish my ME degree elsewhere. The Physics shop on 4th floor Weniger was still intact during my time there, but had been closed down for over 10 years as of 2010. Both those depts were suffering from lack of fresh talent researchers and the big grant money that comes with them. The Chem shop has been less than halftime since 2002, but still is there.
