The Experiment Center of School of Architecture and Civil Engineering is one of the major bases of "Building Material Mechanics" that is primarily constructed in Liaoning Province. It was established in March 1998. It consists of the Theoretical Mechanics Laboratory, Materials Mechanics Laboratory which were founded in the 1950s, and the Civil Engineering Laboratory and computer Room, which were founded in the 1990s.With the development of the School of Architecture and Civil Engineering, a new building environment and equipment engineering laboratory and an architecture reference room were constructed in 2003. After more than 10 years’ hard work, the experiment teaching center has been initially built with high quality personnel, reasonable equipment allocation, rich teaching contents and standardized management system.

There are 4 full-time experimental teachers with senior titles and 3 managers in the experiment teaching center. All the teachers directly serve for mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, materials science and engineering and other preponderant disciplines in the school. Now, the center has the basic conditions of stable research direction, reasonable academic echelon structure, adequate scientific research funds and so on. It has accumulated rich experience in scientific research, with strong scientific research ability and high social reputation.

The Experiment Center owns teaching laboratories of more than 3,000 square meters and open-type experimental teaching environment. It consists of 3 platforms like engineering mechanics experimental platform, engineering structure experimental platform and civil engineering practice and innovation experimental platform, totally including 25 professional laboratories. The center has fixed assets of nearly ten million Yuan and more than thousands of instrument and equipment. It is also one of the important scientific research and experimental bases for public research and development center in Shenyang Tiexi equipment manufacturing accumulation area. The center serves for 15 undergraduate majors of the school, including: civil engineering, mechanical design and manufacturing and automation, industrial engineering, industrial design, vehicle engineering, logistics engineering, physical education equipment engineering, electrical engineering and automation, automation, material forming and control engineering, metal materials engineering, inorganic non-metallic materials engineering, welding technology and engineering，involved in the courses of structural design principles, structural engineering, theoretical mechanics, materials mechanics, fluid mechanics, experimental mechanics, and engineering mechanics and so on. In general, the center’s equipment is of good quality and sufficient quantity to meet the needs of all levels and types of experimental teaching.

At present, the experiment center has the capacity of undertaking national major projects, international cooperation projects, enterprise entrusted projects and provincial and ministerial scientific research projects. We heartily welcome colleagues from all walks of life to visit our center.
