Lawrence Tech's College of Engineering combines academic rigor and excellence with a wealth of practical experience. With the Institute's unique four-wheel drive chassis dynamometer, students can explore innovative engineering solutions. The dyno features individual wheel torque electronic controls of one, two, three, or all four drive wheels and speed capability of up to 100 mph, four individual wheel power absorbers with 175 HP per wheel capability for continuous operation and up to 350 HP intermittently, and an adjustable 89-135 inch wheelbase with an extension up to 175 inches. Students can explore open and limited slip differentials, locking differentials, viscous drive, traction control, and other mechanical and mechatronic driveline systems.
