Create@UH Program

Create@UH is a program to enhance the experience for undergrads doing course-based projects. It provides students with real-world design projects, as well as the space and equipment needed to complete their projects.

Design Labs/Makerspaces

Labs have equipment needed to support design project work that students can check-out and use in the lab. Safety is always the first priority in Create@UH labs. Students must complete safety training upon their first visit to a lab and consent to following all safety policies.

Teaching Unit (TU) 2, Room 28 (above) is available for use by all engineering undergraduate majors for course-based project work.

Take a Virtual Tour

Make a Reservation

Log-in with your CougarNet username and password, when connected via UHSecure; VPN connection required when off campus. Reservations can be one time only or recurring for the semester (no-shows for recurring reservations will be cancelled for the remaining weeks of the semester). Walk-ins are also welcome — based on space availability.

“Create@UH served as our environment where we would have meetings and work on soldering of the PCB boards and other hardware/electronic components. The space provided many tools that we didn't have to include in our budget and were accessible for us to use on a weekly basis.”

– Yasmin Soltani, '25
Project Team Lead

Partnerships

Provide students with a valuable learning experience while helping your company solve real design challenges by sponsoring a senior design/capstone project.

• Leverage the ingenuity of UH students and faculty expertise
• Engage with and recruit UH engineering students
• Obtain project documentation, such as technical reports, drawings and design specifications, prototypes, test results and a final project report

Depending on the discipline, projects start in fall and/or spring, lasting 1-2 semesters. Project proposals are due mid-March (fall project start) and/or mid-October (spring project start).

“Company sponsored projects are invaluable collaborations that provide students experience working with real stakeholders, exposure to practical issues and constraints in design, and opportunities to apply their broad knowledge set within context of industry standards and practices. Sponsors also gain access to our most committed and dedicated students, exposure to senior students through project presentations, and novel solutions to problems with the support of UH faculty overseeing the project.”

– Christiana Chang, Ph.D.
Instructional Associate Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

“Senior design teams sponsored by companies are able to tackle industry-relevant capstone projects with clear societal value. Moreover, the students also benefit from their valuable interaction with company representatives, additional ‘on-the-job’ training provided by the company sponsors and the opportunity to interact with company engineers, bringing a real-life experience to their work.”

– Jose L Contreras-Vidal, Ph.D.
Cullen Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering
